In Person Studies
Sunday morning
Led By Pastor Matzke and Pastor Ryan and Church board Chairmen
Stemming from the Vision Planning Process, we present “Step Into the Vision, Step Out into the Community” This 5-Sunday series of presentations will take place during Education Hour throughout August. We will be looking at how our St Mark ministries are fulfilling the vision to make Christ-like, caring connections. Come join us for a series of conversations centered around how the church is using its gifts and consider how you might become involved.
