Ministries

Get Connected through Service

We believe that we all have gifts of the Spirit as well as desires to serve others and God in ways that give us joy, purpose, and a sense of connection to God and one another. Here are some ways to serve at Good Samaritan and in the wider community. Want to get involved but don't know where to start? Email our rector, Janine Schenone, or our Minister of Formation, David Tremaine, to explore opportunities.
