- St. Martin's is one of Davis' best-kept secrets. Compared to many churches today, it is small, so that the staff have the chance to become acquainted with worshipers on a personal basis. Yet the congregation is large enough to have a diverse variety of people. The priests (Mark Allen, Austin Leininger, and Sarah Motley) and deacon (Dr. Ernie Lewis, a retired urologist!) are friendly and accessible. All are welcome, regardless of background or religious training, and nobody will single a visitor out or start proselytzing--these are Episcopalians, after all! Many in the congregation have switched from other denominations. A sizeable contingent of undergraduate UCD students attends the 9:00 and 11:00 services.	+ [[Image(church_area.jpg, "The church on ["Hawthorne Lane"].", 300, right, thumbnail)]] + + St. Martin's is one of Davis' best-kept secrets.

- St. Martin's holds three Eucharist services each Sunday morning. The first, held at 7:45, is the traditional "Rite I," using the more traditional language (e.g., "Our Father who art in Heaven" instead of "Our Father in Heaven," and "Holy Ghost" in lieu of today's "Holy Spirit"). At 9:00 the church offers the family-oriented Rite II service, using not only contemporary language but also some contemporary music. This service usually has the largest number of worshippers. At 11:00 there is another Rite II service, but with traditional choir music. Coffee and refreshments are served after every Eucharist.	+ St. Martin's holds three Eucharist services each Sunday morning.

All who feel drawn to Christ, regardless of background, are welcome to take communion at this church. However, by no means will anybody force it upon a visitor. One may choose to remain seated, or to go up to the altar rail and receive the priest's blessing without bread and the wine.

- The sermons lean towards the cerebral, contemplative side, inspiring worshippers to become closer to God through introspection and reflection as well as the course of daily life. Anyone attending this church ought to be prepared to ''do'' things--stand, sit, kneel, sing (a lot!), bow, genuflect, cross yourself, take communion and so forth. It's a liturgical church, not a charismatic one, so the ritual is comfortingly similar each week, and the sermon is usually only 15-20 minutes in length. Scripture readings are rotated steadily throughout the year according to the lectionary, thereby guaranteeing a well-rounded spiritual journey. The church closely observes the traditional Church year (Advent/Christmas/Epiphany and Lent/Easter/Pentecost). - - Acceptance, tolerance and respect are of paramount importance to this church and its staff. Contrary to the rather outdated stereotype, participation and membership in the Episcopal Church is not restricted to rich, white, old-money people. The church also recognizes the baptisms of all other Christian churches. Nonbaptized people are equally welcome to attend, although naturally one needs to be a baptized Christian to participate more widely (e.g., as a vestry member, lay reader, etc.).	+ The sermons lean towards the cerebral, contemplative side, inspiring worshipers to become closer to God through introspection and reflection as well as the course of daily life.
