About Us
Welcome to our church! We are glad that you have chosen to take a few moments looking around, exploring our faith and discovering the St. Mark's family. We hope that you find our website helpful and easy to use. While browing, you will get a glimpse of what we are all about, but only a glimpse. You will learn about our faith, family and ministries - but to fully experience and understand our orthodox tradition, we welcome you to join us in person. The orthodox faith is deep rooted in the christian traditon, and has been passed down from generation to genration - begining with Christ himself, and through the apostles to us today.
"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
