To be a member of St. Mary and St. Martha:
Worship
Regularly attend worship. Our worship takes places a few times a week and in a few different formats. Pick one that suits your needs!
Serve
Be involved. Our ministries are our units of small groups who engage in community together. Tell us what you love!
Invite Someone
We go out, listen, share our stories, and invite others into a safe space where they can feel spiritually home and alive in Christ.
Connect
Participate in a group or class where you can study, connect with others, and grow.
Give
Pledge a percentage of your income to support God’s work in the world through St. Mary and St. Martha. Scripture says that all of life is a gift from God. Everything that flows from our life is a gift. God calls us to give back a percentage of what flows from our work as a way to: enable God's mission of peace and unity for the world to come to fruition, to remember that we are dependent on God, and to live lives of gratitude and generosity.
Baptism
We believe in one Christian baptism. If you were baptized in another Christian denomination, that is all that is required. If you have not been baptized, please let us know if you would like to be baptized. There is no “right” age to be baptized. We regularly baptize people of all ages, from babies, to youth, to adults.
Be Confirmed or Received in the Episcopal Church
Confirmation is the rite in which we express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop. If you have made a mature affirmation of Christian faith in another denomination, then you would be “received” into the Episcopal Church. St. Mary and St. Martha has a study which culminates with confirmation or reception.
