MEET OUR PEER MINISTERs
We are excited to announce that we will have six students serving with us this semester at St. Martin's. They will serve our community in a variety of ways including hospitality, evangelism, service, discipleship, formation and discipleship. In other words, they'll be leading our bible studies, meeting with students, publicizing our ministry on campus, and making you feel at home with our ministry. We're pleased to introduce...
