Welcome to St. Mark’s Online!
We are glad you have found our online headquarters and we hope you’ll join us for worship.
Our congregation has just begun the process of finding a new pastor. In the meantime, we are thrilled to welcome the Rev. David Mueller as our interim pastor.
We have two worship services — one at 9 a.m. (traditional liturgy) and another at 11 a.m. (contemporary/informal).
Between those services, starting at 10, Pastor Mueller will be teaching a class on the “Beatitudes,” drawn from the Gospel of Matthew. This Faith Formation opportunity continues through mid-December and is open to anyone and everyone seeking to grow in faith and their knowledge of God. Let us learn and walk together as equal partners in the Grace of God.
We hope to see you soon!

St. Mark’s has a new director of music and worship arts — and he has a familiar face! We congratulate John Lasher, who has been our interim director for several months, on his appointment to this position. We thought you’d like to know more about John and we sent him some questions.

He holds a Bachelors of Music Composition from Cairn University, where he also studied Bible and Theology.
