OUTREACH
"Let us go forth in the Name of Christ"
A commitment to bold and innovative outreach was one of the founding hallmarks of St. Martin’s, and we continue to strive to be a beacon in our community. We give our time and talents both publicly and privately, as a church and as individuals. St. Martin's Episcopal Church supports a large number of Outreach programs in the community.

Outreach
Mission Statement St. Martin's Outreach Commission's overall goal is to be alert to ongoing needs on local, regional, national and international levels so we can provide parish support. Along with financial help we want to involve the parish community in volunteer opportunities so we can engage closely with people in need outside our congregation and truly grow as the Body of Christ. We look for new ways to encourage and facilitate Christian fellowship through the personal involvement of parishioners in the organizations and programs need ing parish support.
