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. All our ministries (descriptions and contact information) are listed in the MINISTRY GUIDE. Please download this important and helpful document. We encourage you to find an area of interest and to contact any of our ministry leaders to volunteer and become actively involved. 

St. Martin's Episcopal Church supports a large number of Outreach programs in the community. The outreach program, administered through the Outreach Commission, is organized into four major categories of need
  • Local Food & Clothing Ministries
  • Interfaith Homeless Ministries
  • Mentorship Ministries
  • International Food Ministries
Support is designated by financial, in-kind and volunteer opportunities. Learn about many of the agencies and programs we support through links to agency websites. For information, contact the St. Martin's Outreach person listed below.

UNITED THANK OFFERING
The United Thank Offering is a program encouraging men, women, and children to share their thankfulness to God through daily prayer and offerings, in the Blue Box, and to pass those blessings to others. The power of the Blue Box is unlimited. Your prayers and offerings have built churches and schools, made needed renovations, fed the hungry, clothed the poor, provided shelter for the homeless, and provided care and support for those with physical, mental, and emotional challenges.

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.
