Why we do it!

Our goal is to meet both the physical and spiritual needs of our neighbors, and we take that responsibility seriously. God’s word teaches us the church cannot consider itself spiritual, if it is not social. We know that tough times can happen to anyone, which is why we’re committed to helping those in need. Whether it’s providing hot meals or emergency rental assistance, we’re here for our community. Saint Mark HELPS, so continue to help Saint Mark. Your Gifts allow Our Ministry to be a Blessing to others.

our

impact

Saint Mark is more than just a physical building. It’s about us, the people who make up the church community. We believe the more we get involved in our community, the stronger and better it becomes. That’s why we give generously and sacrificially, not because we feel like we have to, but because it’s our way of showing love for God.

And you know what? Giving is more than just a way of being obedient. It’s also about being grateful and trusting in God’s plan for our own lives. It’s an experience that brings us joy and a sense of purpose. It’s amazing how our actions, even the small ones, can make a big impact on the lives of others. Saint Mark is dedicated to being a beacon of hope and a place of refuge, as we strive to continue growing in learning, serving, and giving.
