Welcome to the website of St. Mark Lutheran Church.
We are a community of faith in which people commit to Gather, Grow, and Go into the world in Christ. Each move happens in Christ, by God’s grace.
This year we celebrate our fiftieth year of ministry. It is our jubilee year. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the jubilee year is a time when debts are forgiven, land returned to original owners, slaves freed. For us, it is a year to pause, celebrate and give thanks for the ways God has been at work in us and through us.
While it is a year of celebration, it is also a time of reflection and discernment. We listen for God’s answer to questions like, ‘Who is God calling us to be? How is God calling us to serve? How can we best shine the light of Christ in the world? How can we be the light of Christ?’ We know the answer is grounded in God’s grace – which sets us free for we know God will correct us when we’re wrong, and will bless us in ways we can’t imagine when we’re right.
We invite you to join us in this journey. Fifty years is a long time, but we’re not finished yet. The ministry of St. Mark has really only just begun.
In Christ,
Pastor Julianne Smeck
