If you're new to St. Mark's and wondering how you ever could get connected in a church this size, you're not alone. Practically everyone who comes to St. Mark's has felt lost in the shuffle of the crowd. Many have found themselves asking questions like:
- Where do I fit in?
- How do I meet and develop friendships in a church this size?
- What about serving? With all the people, am I really needed?
- Should I become a member?
- What if I have a question or family emergency? Who do I call?
At St. Mark's, we believe the first step to making a big church feel smaller is by discovering a place where you can connect with others. Sometimes finding that place can be a challenging task; that's why St. Mark's is committed to assisting you discover the connection that's right for you.
New Attenders Lunch
Held several times during the year, our New Attenders Lunch offers you an opportunity to meet a few of the church's leaders and volunteers, take a tour of the church, and speak to someone about your next step towards getting connected in the life of the church. We would love to meet you!
Participating Membership
In some churches, membership is no more than a formality: simply sign a form or attend a meeting and you're in. At St. Mark's, membership signifies an individual's personal commitment to growth as a developing follower of Jesus Christ and participation in the life of the church. We call this type of commitment "Participating Membership." If you're interested in discovering more about becoming a member, contact Donna Wilson for the date of our next class.
