Church Membership
We invite you to membership in St. Mark as an expression of your personal commitment to Jesus Christ. Membership may be obtained by attending the Pastor’s Class which is offered two times a year in the fall and in the spring. This exciting class covers the teaching of the Christian Church. It is also a great way to meet some new Christian friends.
Holy Communion
Offered every Sunday at all services, and at summer mid week services, following those Sundays.
We practice “open Communion” – any baptized Christian who repents of their sin and understands that Jesus Christ is truly present in the bread and wine of Communion is welcome to participate. You do not need to be a St. Mark member, or even be a Lutheran to receive the sacrament.
