St. Mark Lutheran Church

Our Family of Faith

"We exist to share the gospel of Jesus Christ
with those who are lost,
and to grow in faith those who are found."

We believe that faith comes from hearing the Word of God and that His Word has been recorded, without error, in the Bible. We believe, teach and confess that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Lord, and that through faith in Him we receive forgiveness of sins, eternal life and salvation. Our Family of Faith is truly excited about being a place where individuals can develop their relationship with Jesus Christ in a greater way through engaging, inspiring, and meaningful encounters with God's amazing Word. In that reality, lives are set free by the Good News of Jesus, and genuine friendships are cultivated while ongoing events of selfless service abound!

St. Mark Lutheran Church is a part of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). In grateful response to God’s grace and empowered by the Holy Spirit through Word and Sacraments, the mission of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod is vigorously to make known the love of Christ by word and deed within our churches, communities and the world. We would absolutely love for you and your family to join us on this great journey of Christian faith.
