"Educating for faith so that Christ may be seen by ourselves and by others"
St. Mark Lutheran Church is a people created by God in Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, called and sent to bear witness to God's creative, redeeming and sanctifying activity in the world.
As a community of Christ, we are called not only to minister within our congregation but also to minister outside our congregation. Our mission activity is evident in many ways, including
and the open use of our building by many community groups. To emphasize mission the Congregation Council has developed the following statement to be used by committees and the Council in developing goals and objectives:
A noted theologian has said: "If you want to know what Lutherans are like, worship with them." That is excellent advice! At St. Mark we invite you to join us in all our worship opportunities. Traditional Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday, and uses both the Lutheran Book of Worship and alternative musical settings.
We are a congregation that worships! Please take a look at our schedule of services and come get to know us!
Our Christian education programs are designed to help those who do not know God-in-Christ to know him, and to nurture the faith of those who do. These include traditional programs:
The women of St. Mark meet monthly as Circle I for study and fellowship.
St. Mark is especially pleased with its Preschool for the education of pre-kindergarten youngsters in a Christian environment.
Please come join us in these educational opportunities!
Worship is an important and primary reason for a church to exist, but enjoying the fellowship of others enriches our lives as well. St. Mark offers many social opportunties, and everyone is invited to participate.
We hope you will join our St. Mark family in some (or all!) of these activities. Keep your eye on The Crossmarks Newsletter or call the church office at (434) 293-3311 for information.
