Opportunities at St. Martin's

One of the gifts and strengths of the Episcopal Church is its commitment to raising up lay leaders to participate in the ministries of the church. We take seriously the call of the Holy Spirit given to every person at baptism to use their gifts and talents to help spread the Gospel. 

SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT

The school board president serves on the vestry as a liaison between the school and the parish. It is a three-year term and one must be a baptized member in good standing to serve. The school board works with the rector to oversee the school's finances and to ensure best practices are in place to help the school carry out its mission. The new term begins in February 2024.

Prayer Requests

Please send your prayer intentions to Philip at philip.muniz@gmail.com. Also, if you want a name removed, you can email Philip.
