The neo-gothic architecture of St. Martin's Church stands in contrast to the office towers and multimillion-dollar homes in the Great Uptown neighborhood of Houston. This largest congregation of the Episcopal Church, at 8,600 members, dedicated two new facilities December 2, welcoming the Most Rev. George L. Carey, the 103rd Archbishop of Canterbury, and actor Sam Waterston. They read the lessons at a Festival of Lessons and Carols that preceded the dedication.
The project broke ground in April 2011 and building began a year later.
The Island and Scout Center, which will serve youth groups within the parish and in the broader city, are dedicated to longtime members President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush. The parish's youth ministry attracts more than 300 members. The Scout Center will be used by the parish's own troop and by Yellowstone Academy Boy Scout Troop, a program for at-risk boys.
