St Mark Lutheran Church
At St. Mark Lutheran Church the youth are the church of “today”! Our ministry for youth “today” is characterized by a growing, dynamic ministry interested in providing opportunities for youth of all ages. Our youth program at St. Mark recognizes the important contribution all youth make to the life of our congregation. We are currently striving to provide opportunities for our youth to develop in their faith, engage in meaningful fellowship and learning with friends and to have fun!
