Welcome!
Our faith community is incredibly diverse in age, marital
status, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, geographic roots and
religious background. We bring this diversity - all that we are and
hope to become - to God's altar in this place.
We bring, too, our hopes and fears and doubts and wounds to Christ. We are believers
and skeptics at the same time. Here we seek to pray and encounter
the living God. Together we make up the Body of Christ, reaching
out in Christ's love and work.
We struggle with our faith, our world, and even each other. Most of all, we are ALIVE in Christ
here - not perfect, but definitely alive - and committed to our journey
together. You are welcome to be a part of this community.
To learn more about St. Mark's, explore this site,
contact us by email,
or - best of all - come visit.
We look forward to greeting you!
