Ministries & Outreach
You are loved with a love that you did not earn, and therefore, can never lose. This is the truth of God’s love for you in Christ. So let’s walk together in love as Christ loved us.
At St. Mary’s, we’re dedicated to fostering connection within our community. Together we journey towards a deeper connection with Christ, a better understanding of our faith, and the practical applications to live it out. Join us as we walk together in faith and fellowship.
Find your place. Get connected.

Breakfast Club - At St. Mary’s, we believe in the power of prayer to make a real difference in the lives of those in need. Each Tuesday morning at Breakfast Club, we gather for good food, fellowship, and a dedicated time of prayer. Together, we lift up our church family, our community, our diocese, our nation’s leaders, and the world—praying for healing, comfort, peace, and offering thanks in times of joy and praise.
Coffee & Conversation - Join us between services on select Sundays throughout the year for a time of discipleship and fellowship. This class is held in a comfortable, approachable format led by our rector where we can ask questions and dig deeper into our faith. All are welcome to participate.
Special Events - Throughout the year our church community hosts a variety of seasonal and special events, such as Trunk or Treat, Pancake Suppers, Chili Cook-off, Preschool Sunday, and more!

Prayer Shawl - The “Knit Wits” meet weekly to knit or crochet scarves and shawls to donate to local hospitals and shelters. This committed ministry provides over 500 shawls and scarves annually. Interested in joining, but need a few tips to get started? No worries! We have plenty of gifted ladies willing to lend a hand at teaching the basics.
Community Partners - At St. Mary’s, we believe compassion should be met with action. We are grateful to partner with local organizations to share our time, resources, and care. Our partners include Servant's Heart Ministry, The Russell Home, and Nathaniel's Hope, among others. Together, we strive to make a meaningful difference in our community.
Food Drive - Jesus called us to feed the hungry. Throughout the year we gather and deliver baskets of non-perishable food items to The Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist in support of their food pantry. One of our favorite holiday traditions at St. Mary’s is creating and donating over 60 Thanksgiving dinner baskets, each containing a complete holiday meal to be enjoyed by those in need.
