Welcome to St. Mark’s Online!
We are glad you have found our online headquarters and we hope you’ll join us in worship soon!
After five months of worshipping by prerecorded video because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we have resumed in-person worship services. Church doors open at 9:45 a.m. and we are having one 10 a.m. service for now. New procedures are in place to ensure the safety of all. Face coverings will be required. Please see our ‘Reopening Day’ video for more information.
In addition to our in-person service, we are offering live video access to our 10 a.m. service on our YouTube channel.
We hope you’ll join us soon — in whichever way suits you and your family best.

The votes are in! And that was no small feat. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has demanded plenty of creative solutions. To allow all St. Mark’s members to vote on the Call Committee slate — whether they have returned to in-person worship or not — Kitty Dombroski, the ingenious president of St. Mark’s Leadership Council, rigged up a plastic bowl and a paint roller extension to collect ballots after the congregational meeting on Sunday, Oct. 4. Members who watched the meeting online and have not yet returned to in-person worship were able to vote by driving to the church parking lot and placing their ballots in Kitty’s “ballot bowl” from a safe distance. Thanks to all who helped us meet the requirements for establishing this important committee.
