St. Martin's School isn't just a school, it's a family. Firmly rooted in the Christian faith, the St. Martin's family will share the love of Christ with our diverse school community – all unique and special, made in God's image, with everyone welcomed and included. The Bible teaches us that as true followers of Jesus, we also must serve others.
Service is helping others who need our help. Service grows out of genuine love for God and of love and concern for those whom He gives us opportunities and direction to help. We help people if they need our help. We look after each other as God would want us to. Service is putting others before ourselves as even Jesus washed the feet of his disciples.
"My God is my strength in whom I trust." Psalm 18:2
