St. Mark's believes in you!


If you are looking for a church that celebrates diversity . . . 


If you are looking for affirmation that ALL God’s children are created in God’s image . . .


If you are looking for people who will stand with those who have known exclusion or discrimination . . .


. . . we welcome you! There is a safe place for you here.

St. Mark's welcomes you!


We welcome ALL. No exceptions. We hope you can hear this as you read the words of our public statement:


We believe that we are called to compassion and justice.


We seek to faithfully practice the pursuit of peace, social justice, and environmental stewardship in our world.


We proclaim God’s wide welcome to all, especially those who have known the pain of exclusion or discrimination in church and in society, and are committed to supporting racial equity.


We seek to foster a climate of purposeful inclusion that celebrates and supports the lives, relationships, and the individual and group contributions of all children of God, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, color, national origin or religious background.


We welcome you with Christ’s love.

St. Mark's is an RIC church

As a designated RIC-church, St. Mark's is part of a nationwide organization called ReconcilingWorks: Lutherans for Full Participation. Since 1974, ReconcilingWorks has been an advocate for the full acceptance, full participation and liberation of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions with the Lutheran Church.


As an RIC church, St. Mark’s joins with 941 (and growing!) RIC communities across the county to publicly proclaim that Christ's message, the Gospel, is for everyone equally. We recognize that all the things that divide us—racism, sexism, ageism, able-ism, heterosexism, homophobia—diminish us. We commit to providing a safe place for ALL, and we are working for systemic change to alleviate and eliminate oppression.
