St. Martin’s takes pride in its active ministry to others and to the world
At St. Martin’s, ministry is how we live out our faith, together and for the sake of the world God loves. Our ministries grow from worship and prayer and extend into care for one another, hospitality to our neighbors, commitment to justice, and stewardship of creation. Whether preparing a meal, welcoming a stranger, tending the land, advocating for a more just world, or quietly supporting someone through a difficult season, each ministry is an expression of love in action.
Some of our ministries focus on care within the parish, such as those who help make Sunday worship happen or our lay pastoral care programs that help nurture and serve those experiencing difficult times. Others reach beyond our walls, partnering with local organizations to address hunger, housing insecurity, environmental responsibility, and social justice. Together, they reflect our belief that faith is not only something we hold, but something we practice.
There is a place here for every gift, every season of life, and every level of involvement. Whether you are looking to serve regularly, explore a new interest, or simply learn more about what we do, we invite you to discover the ministries that help shape our shared life at St. Martin’s.
