"Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him" (Colossians 3:17).
No matter what we do as a congregation it is our goal to impact our community in a positive way in the name of Jesus through relevant teaching, engaging worship, servant leadership, honest friendships, fervent prayer, and expressions of compassion.
We have a lot of ways to get involved in making a difference in our own lives and the lives of others, always giving thanks to God for the opportunities we have. You may be asking yourself, what exactly is going on at St. Mark? How can I get involved? Great questions.
Here are some suggestions for you to explore!
