St. Mark's is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the largest Lutheran denomination in the United States. The ELCA has a proud history of diversity in its people and ideas, along with a focus on helping others throughout the world, and these values represent our congregation well.

Words to best capture the feeling of St. Mark’s might be “spirit” or “community of togetherness” or “trust.” We are grounded through our worship, our intergenerational mix, our generosity, our outreach and mission orientation, our caring. Love and service flow outward from what happens inside in worship and activities. We also bring the world into the building. We are a Lutheran church open to all, and all are invited into our communal life, leaning on God’s promises together.
