St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church

What St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church does

St. Martin in the Fields is a nonprofit Episcopal church located in Brookhaven, Georgia, serving local community members and families in the greater Atlanta area. Founded in 1951 and currently celebrating its 75th anniversary, the church operates a multi-generational ministry including traditional sacramental worship (Holy Eucharist services at 8:00, 9:00, and 11:00 a.m.), age-specific faith formation programs for children, youth, and adults, music ministries, and life-event services. The church's outreach arm, the Suthers Center for Christian Outreach, operates a Saturday food pantry (sourcing through the Atlanta Community Food Bank), emergency assistance programs, and the HATS (Hall Assistance and Transition Service) homeless support program in partnership with Salvation Army and other area churches.

The church is supported by an affiliated St. Martin's Episcopal School serving approximately 600 students from age 2 through 8th grade, originally founded in 1959 as a church outreach ministry. Revenue is generated through annual stewardship pledges, one-time donations, endowment contributions (the Endowment Fund was established in 1971), and a recently completed $2 million 75th Anniversary Capital Campaign (2024-2026) that raised $2,011,231 as of February 2026 for facility improvements. Digital operations rely on Realm (online giving and member management) and YouTube for live-streamed worship services. The church maintains a multi-channel community engagement strategy via website, weekly e-newsletter, Instagram, and in-person newcomer gatherings on first Sundays.

The business model is non-transactional: most programming is free, with revenue derived from voluntary member pledges, donations, facility rentals, and flower dedications ($85-$100 suggested donation). A Chapel of the Resurrection columbarium with 542 niches serves as an additional revenue-generating asset. The church operates under a Vestry governance model led by Rector The Rev. Monica Mainwaring (since 2019), with the church affiliated with the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta.
