SERVE
The unique purpose and work of a congregation is to gather those called by God into Christ’s body, the Church, a community of transformation of mind, heart and action, and to SEND these same into the world to be and to act as God’s loving and transforming presence. At Saint Mark’s, we offer many opportunities to engage in: onsite direct service (outreach), volunteering with off-site mission partners, and participating in civil discourse and public process through Faith in Action/advocacy groups. This encompasses what we refer to as “community engagement” at Saint Mark’s..
ON-SITE DIRECT SERVICE
Do you want to join God in the direct service of our neighbors, rolling up your sleeves and meeting people across lines of difference in our community?
OFF-SITE MISSION PARTNERSHIPS
Are you looking to find a community organization already doing good work and want to join in? Saint Mark’s is in partnership with many local non-profits. We support these organizations in several ways, depending upon the partnership.
FAITH IN ACTION: ADVOCACY
Do you desire to help tackle major social issues by joining in movements with other members of the larger community? Want to find like-minded Saint Markans working with faith-based organizing partners to advocate for change and shape public policy?
