St. Mark's Mission Statement...


Welcome!

Welcome to St. Mark’s!

     

     If you are looking for a church where people don’t pretend they have all the answers, but where questions are asked and explored together, this may be a place for you. No matter what walk of life you are from – we’d love to celebrate with you.

     

     We believe that all people are created lovingly by God, and that Jesus Christ invites all to his table of grace and mercy.

 

Shalom!

All are Welcome!

Welcome

Welcome to St. Mark’s !!!

     We rejoice that diversity in God's creation enriches, nurtures and challenges our life and ministry as followers of Jesus and as servants in the world.

    Because we believe with Jesus that God's grace is truly amazing, we are committed to welcoming all people to this place. It does not matter where you come from; what age, race, socio-economic or family status; what your gender identity or sexual orientation.

Who is welcome here?

  • If you are male, female, or transgendered…
  • If you are straight, gay, lesbian, or bisexual…
  • If you are three days old, 30 years old, or 103 years old…
  • If you’ve never stepped foot into a church, or are a life-long Lutheran…
  • No matter what your life situation…

You are welcome here!

     This congregation is committed to being a radically loving and welcoming community of faith, centered in the Good News of Jesus Christ. Therefore, in faithfulness to the Gospel and our Lutheran heritage, we promise to share programs, ministries, and pastoral care to all who seek God in this place. All are expected and encouraged to share fully in the sacramental and general life of this congregation. All are expected and encouraged to engage fully in the nurturing, care, and support of each other and of our congregation.

Grace is for everyone or it isn't grace. It's that simple. It's that amazing.

We really do welcome all!
