Granite cross of Saint Mark
At St. Mark's, our purpose is to help each other experience and worship God, to openly share the Good News of Jesus Christ, and to respond in love to the needs of our neighbors.

“Christian education is everything and anything happening anywhere that helps the Christian community grow in its life in Jesus Christ and in witness to God. Christian formation includes preaching and hearing, teaching and learning, and sharing in liturgy. Christian formation includes what we do outside our church buildings, how we relate to our environment, how we offer our arts, how we share God's story, how we build relationships and grow in love with those around us.” Joe Russell: The New Prayer Book Guide to Christian Education.

Our programs are focused attempts to strengthen our faith formation and growth as we seek to live into our baptismal covenant and commitment to be followers of Christ.

    For all adults we offer opportunities for Bible study, growth in spirituality and mindfulness, prayer and sacramental life, ethical and theological thinking, and discussion of engaging issues.

    For newcomers and others, we offer opportunities to learn basic information about the Church. We encourage inquiry and offer the possibility of personal exploration and spiritual growth with a supportive community.

    For children and youth, we strive to provide an atmosphere of love, trust, understanding and acceptance in which they can learn about our Christian faith, ask questions, express concerns and have fun.
