At St. Mark's, we believe as St. Peter did in "growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 3:18).  We offer serveral opportunities for spiritual enrichment through group Bible study.

The word "church" means "together". Jesus began his ministry by gathering twelve disciples to live with Him as he proclaimed the Kingdom of God. At St. Mark's we believe out walk with Christ shouldbe lived out together.
