About Our Parish
In the early church there was a man named Barnabas. He was a missionary with Saint Paul. His name means “son of encouragement.” The Bible tells us that he sold a piece of land and laid it at the Apostles’ feet in order to help fund the mission of the early church. As we prayed about a church name, the story of Barnabas came to mind, and it seemed to be a perfect fit to honor the generosity of our beginnings.
In 2020 All Saints Anglican Church in Peachtree City began the work of establishing a new congregation in Coweta County by issuing a call to Father Joey Fitzgerald. With the Bishop’s approval, we officially became St. Barnabas in February of 2021. On January 16, 2022, services began in a rented space at 390 Jackson Street, Newnan. By the end of 2023, St. Barnabas was ready to step out on our own as an independent church. We bought a cozy, 50 year old church on a four-acre lot at 53 Country Club Road. Our first service was held on January 5, 2025.
