St Thomas’ is a growing church in the heart of the city of Newcastle and is the
‘Resource Church’ for the Diocese of Newcastle. The church plays an instrumental
role in the Diocese, helping us to take a new and exciting approach to mission and

Jesus Christ. The continued development of St Thomas’ is an important part of our
Mission and Discipleship plan to help us to continually grow our congregation whilst
also working across the diocese to both revitalise existing congregations and
