WHAT WE DO

Everything that is done in the world is done by hope. ~ Martin Luther

At St. Mark’s, we are an active, busy congregation. We offer:
 Weekly Sunday Worship and Sunday School
  • 10am Family Worship Service with Holy Communion- Sunday School for children during sermon  A nursery is available with speakers from the service provided in the nursery so you may follow along if this is helpful.

 Fellowship and Service Opportunities
