Men’s Ministry
Grow in God’s Love
Men of St. Martin’s
Beginning Sept. 17
The Men of St. Martin’s welcomes all men of the Parish. Guests and visitors are always encouraged to join us for our weekly Bible study, outreach ministry and social events. This is a great opportunity to deepen your faith and connect with fellow Parishioners. No reservations are necessary.
After spending the past year studying the Book of Genesis, the Men of St. Martin’s will continue their journey through the Torah — the first five books of the Bible — with an in-depth study of Exodus, the Bible’s second book. Together, we will explore how God faithfully carries forward the promises He made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob through the people of Israel. Along the way, we will examine major themes such as redemption, covenant, worship, holiness, and the presence of God. Special attention will also be given to the ways Exodus points ahead to Jesus Christ, the true Passover Lamb, who delivers His people from sin and restores their fellowship with God.

Usher Ministry
Serve as an Usher at the Traditional, Family Table and Riverway Worship services.
The Ministry of Ushers plays an important role at St. Martin's. Ushers are an integral part to making sure visitors feel welcome and that all aspects of the Worship and Funeral services flow smoothly. Ushers serve on rotating teams, according to their schedules and service time preferences.
"I've enjoyed getting to know the St. Martin's Staff, Clergy and Vestry on a more personal level. The incremental exposure and little conversations before and after services help grow those relationships." - Jason Craig
“In addition to providing a warm and inviting welcome, the ushers, during the offertory, carry out a symbolic gesture on behalf of the congregation. We are directly assisting the congregants in the offering up of their treasures. Later in the service, by guiding people to the altar rail, we empower the faithful to receive the gifts the gifts of God for the people of God. This ministry can provide a direct and meaningful impact to our faithful community.” - Bob Porter
