Be a part of an active, vibrant, inclusive group that enjoys being together, with others who are intent on making a difference through the ministries of St. Martin’s.

Whether it’s Young Professionals (formerly called Critical Mass), gatherings with friends, Sunday worship, community events, outreach, teaching Sunday school or being on a retreat, we have a place for you. All young adults, ages 21-30, are invited to come be a part of this unique and dynamic ministry. Bring your questions and be ready for conversations with friends.

    10:15-11:00 AM

  • Basic Bible Study -- The Seven General Letters in the New Testament
    Room 207-209, Payne Education Center
    The course is an eight-week, in-depth study of the seven General Letters following Hebrews in the New Testament. Written during the Apostolic period, between 45 AD and 90 AD, these letters offer an interesting insight into the early Christian community and the internal issues presented by false teachers, Gnosticism and the external influences facing believers which resulted in persecution.
    This week: Christianity in the Apostolic Period
    These letters are often referred to as "Primers" or sermons of the first principles of Christianity and, in many cases, are as applicable to the Christian community today as then.


  • Life: A User's Manual
    Vestry Conference Room
    We begin our study of the book, Journey to the Common Good, by Walter Brueggemann.
    This week: Prologue and Chapter 1
    Lively discussions regarding current events, while facing the challenges of everyday life, are the basis for our small group gathering. Weekly we navigate through a provocative and stimulating book which challenges our faith and how we come to understand and put into practice what we believe as Christians.


  • Seekers Class
    Activity Center, Aerobics Room
    This week: Study on the Book of Romans, Chapter 2

  • This Bible Study will be traveling through the Book of Romans while surveying God's plan of salvation for all humankind.

  • "Welcome to St. Martin's"
    Welcome Center
    You'll hear more about St. Martin's from our Lay Minister for Membership Services, and take a tour of The Church.


  • Lectionary-Based Classes:
    In the Eucharistic lectionary this fall, the focus is on the gospel of Luke, who stressed the call to discipleship. Luke approaches his writings through personal investigation and arrangement -- we are called to do no less on our journey with Christ. Luke reminds us that characteristics that exemplify discipleship are universality, prayer, joy and concern for the poor, all magnified by the power of the Holy Spirit.
    This week's topic: Managing Possessions Wisely

    Third Annual "Day of Hope"

    Epiphany marks the coming of the wise men bringing gifts to the Christ child, who by so doing "reveal" Jesus to the world as Lord and King. It is a celebration of the hope of the world. On Sunday, January 2, from 10:15-11:00 AM in Bagby Parish Hall, our Parish will celebrate its third annual "Day of Hope."

    The hopes and dreams of our Parish, which were placed in the hope chest a year ago, will be displayed for all to see. We will gather again as a Church family and share our hopes, dreams and prayers for our Church by writing them down and placing them in the hope chest. You also will create a hope chest to take home. Our prayer is that it will become a daily part of your family prayer time, as you ask God's guidance in your lives. Throughout the coming year, we will pray to God to grant us these desires.

    For more information, contact Bruce Morgan at 713/985-3810.
