St. Mark’s has many opportunities for children to learn about Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
On Sunday mornings, we offer Wee Worship for children ages 3-6 during the 8:00 and 11:00 worship services. Our nursery for babies age 6 months to 2 years-old is open from 8-Noon on Sunday mornings. At 9:30, we have Sunday school for 3-4 year olds, 5-6 year olds, and our elementary aged children are in rotation Sunday school. At ll:00 we have a special Sunday school hour for Kindergarten through 5th graders.
On Wednesday evenings, Bible Blast is for children ages 4-11. This reward-based program has a unique blend of both Bible story reading, quizzing, and memory work. On Tuesday and Thursdays from 9:30-2:30, our church offers a Children’s Day Out, CDO gives parents of children ages 4 months to 6 years-old a breather and the children have a Christian, educational play time.
Our summer programs include a Vacation Bible School, KICK and Sport’s Camp.

From local urban ministries to building homes in Mexico, St. Mark’s knows the value of missions. We are interested in missions globally and locally and we act accordingly. We support missionaries around the world and a congregation in Russia. Missions at St. Mark’s is funded through Faith Promise giving, and many local church members participate in various mission trips around the world.

Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Phil. 4:6-7
St. Mark’s relies on the power of prayer for each and every ministry that we offer. Join many other members as we pray for each other every week.

The way exists to train, lead, and empower students to become disciples of Jesus Christ as evidenced by the way the students live, the way they love, in their faith, and in their purity.

Come be a part of St. Mark’s Student Ministries and discover the way God has called us to live as we participate in mission trips, Bible studies, worship, fellowship activities and more.
