Wellspring at St. Martin's

Wellspring: a ministry for soul-discovery and spiritual growth.

“and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.” - Isaiah 58:11

St. Martin-in-the-Fields’ Wellspring Ministry assists the congregation and broader community in nurturing their spirits and deepening their relationships with God and one another through practices rooted in, or resonant with, the Christian tradition.

In quiet and unhurried ways, sometimes playful, sometimes challenging, always informed by love and acceptance, Wellspring’s programs and services foster awareness of God’s presence and provides encouragement and support for spiritual exploration. While Wellspring is grounded in the Christian faith, the wisdom of other traditions is honored and all are welcome to participate.

The Wellspring Ministry Team includes lay people and clergy, who discern the ministry’s direction and plan programming. For more information on attending or offering programs, contact Barbara Dundon or John Hougen.
