“Gather for worship, education, and mutual support;
welcome all people; and serve the community in God’s name.”
Beliefs and
Practices
The
mission of St. Mark's Episcopal Church is to gather in worship and fellowship,
to learn, to teach, to nurture, to give thanks for God's blessings, and
then to scatter in service by taking our unique gifts and talents to minister
to the needs of those whose lives touch ours. We are called to bring
God's love to the world through the Good News of Jesus Christ and the guidance
of the Holy Spirit.
St.
Mark's strives to be an open church that welcomes all people, regardless
of religious affiliation. We seek to provide a caring environment
where individuals and families can expand their understanding of God and
explore God's will for us as individuals and as a Christian community.
Our
Community Building is accessible to area organizations and is available
for meetings of support groups to improve the human condition. We
are committed to being good stewards of God's gifts. Our resources
are used to maintain our facilities, sustain our worship, encourage
our outreach, and support the programs of the Diocese of Southern Ohio,
following the tenets and canons of the Episcopal Church.
(The Prior Mission Statement
of
St Mark's Episcopal
Church)
Through the bountiful blessings
of God at work in the world, our mission is to restore all people to unity
with God and each other in Christ.
