The living stones that make up the Church of St. Thomas' are as diverse and varied as the community that the Church is situated in. Consistently recognized as a strength of the Church, St. Thomas' has a large number of young families and as a result, a very busy Sunday School. Many families have been attending the Church for several generations, and active toddlers are sometimes seen shuffling a few pews to sit with grandparents. Although many members live in the community of Westfort, there are just as many who have sought out the type of worship, sense of family, and Bible based teaching that are characteristic of St. Thomas'.
People come from all over the city of Thunder Bay to join in the fellowship.
