Military Ministry at St. Mary's

At St. Mary’s, we are proud to walk alongside military service members, veterans, and their families. Whether you're active duty, retired, or somewhere in between, we honor your service and the many sacrifices you and your loved ones make. We’re here to offer support, connection, and community while you’re living in the Ramona area.

We know that military life can be full of transitions—new assignments, deployments, changing schools, and long separations from loved ones. Many people in our congregation have lived that experience themselves, and we’re ready to welcome you with open arms and open hearts.

No matter your family status—single, married, with or without kids—we invite you to make St. Mary’s your spiritual home base. This is a place where you can find encouragement, explore faith, serve others, and be part of a community that values authenticity, compassion, and justice.

Our Military Ministry team is here to help you feel grounded and supported, offering fellowship, care, and opportunities to grow spiritually at your own pace. We’re a small, progressive Christian church that believes God’s love includes everyone, and we strive to embody that love through action.

St. Mary’s is located at 1010 12th Street in Ramona. We’d love to meet you and hear your story. If you have questions or want to connect, feel free to reach out.
