St Martin’s Church, Sharjah

St Martin’s is one of the longest established Anglican churches in the UAE – the first St Martin’s was built in 1926 as part of the British military garrison. Today St Martin’s is one of five churches that make up the Chaplaincy of Dubai and Sharjah with the Northern Emirates,  and it is located in an ecumenical church compound on land donated by the Ruler of Sharjah. St Martin’s has a strong congregation and provides worship facilities for over 80 other congregations from different denominations, worshiping in many different languages.

St Martin’s has never had a website before but all of the churches in the Chaplaincy have been encouraged to develop at least a basic website with some information about themselves, to help newcomers find the churches, and to celebrate what is going on in the various emirates of the UAE.

So with the help of the Chaplain, Revd Dr Ernest Victor, and his team we have put up this very simple site (using the Boldy theme).  Later in the year we will be doing training with the church staff and be encouraging them to develop more content.
