Over 60 years ago, when St. Martin's was built, there was a plan to incorporate a traditional worship area at a later stage. However, when the time came, the congregation chose to build a space that prioritized accessibility and public use for meetings and Christian education, rather than a traditional sanctuary.
While our building may not boast traditional beauty, its design emphasizes functionality. It serves as a hub for various community activities, accommodating everything from AA meetings and fitness classes to piano recitals and public forums.
