ADULT OPPORTUNITIES

Want to connect?

We need connections with each other to stay grounded and hope-filled. 


At St. Mark's, we gather to study and to play. Our adult programs include a wide range of options, from Bible studies to growth groups, from fun outings to service projects, from women's circles to our volunteer teams.


What are your special interests? Your passion can find a place here.  Explore the options and choose what fits for you.

  • mUSIC OPPORTUNITIES

    Lion's Voice Choir: Our vocal choir is a rich part of our worship services and all of the church festivals and holiday services. They uphold the tradition of sacred choral music, but also explore lively, contemporary praise. Their singing enriches our spiritual life together and invites us to new expressions of our faith.


    Glory Ringers Handbell Choir: St. Mark's has a long tradition of handbell choirs and is privileged to own 65 bells (covering 5 octaves) plus 93 choir chimes.

If you are new to bell choir, don’t hesitate to reach out, we will help you learn to ring.
