St. Thomas the Disciple is a loving church for Salisbury, MD and the Lower Eastern Shore. Our name honors Saint Thomas, one of Jesus's first followers, who is famous for being skeptical when he heard Jesus had risen from the dead—until Jesus showed up in person to meet him! Whether you're certain about Jesus or have your own doubts, we hope you'll visit us and meet the living Jesus here.
Everyone is welcome at St. Thomas. Dress as casually or as formally as you feel comfortable. If you have been baptized as a Christian, you're welcome to receive Communion with us.

What is an Anglican Church?
nglicanism traces its roots back to the introduction of Christianity to England, more than 1500 years ago. Today, there are 80 million Anglicans around the world, from many languages, people groups, and races—the third-largest body of Christians in the world!
Anglicans look for the best in the old and the new. We worship using both ancient prayers and modern songs. We honor the ancient Christian traditions, centering our worship around Communion and Baptism, while maintaining the Reformation's strong emphasis on the Bible and a modern yearning for the Holy Spirit to work in and through us.
For more information about what we believe and how we worship, check out:
- The Book of Common Prayer, which guides our worship and prayer
- The Nicene Creed, the ancient standard of the Christian faith
- The 1571 Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion
- The Jerusalem Declaration, a modern reaffirmation of our faith
