Mission Statement

We celebrate God's love by welcoming all people into a life with Jesus Christ and each other.

Core Values

Worship: Worship at St. Mark's is expressed in Word and Sacraments, according to the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer. It is enhanced by traditional architecture and sacred liturgical music: ancient and modern.

Outreach: Outreach at St. Mark's is lived out in our sponsoring, both in volunteer service and in financial support, of multiple ministries throughout our greater community that responds to and addresses the spiritual, emotional and/or physical needs of our diverse population.

Education: Education at St. Mark's is offered in diverse opportunities that enables children to find joy in spiritual growth, youth to find relevance in the gospel message, and adults to engage in the life of the mind which feeds the spirit.

Stewardship: Stewardship at St. Mark's is practiced by offering our time, talent, and treasure for the glory of God, and the growth of God's Kingdom.

Fellowship: Fellowship at St. Mark's is treasured because we are a community of believers whose relationship with each other is centered upon our common faith in God and His Son, Jesus Christ. We provide refuge, pastoral care, and opportunities for all who want to share this fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
