Service Times

Sunday Services are at 9 am and 5 pm during the summer (Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend) and at 8 am, 10 am and 5 pm during the program year (September through May).

Our approach to worship fits the relaxed attitude of the Santa Ynez Valley. Services offer prayer, one or two readings from the Bible, music (except at 8 am during the program year), and communion (receiving the blessed bread and wine from the altar). Communion at St. Mark's is open to everyone. Typically refreshments and conversation follow services.

The 5 pm service is very casual and short (35-40 minutes) and features the most contemporary worship language and music.  This is a "come as you are" service designed for people who want to cycle, bike, garden or sleep in on Sunday mornings.  Refreshments, for those who wish, follow in the plaza in front of the church.
Both services typically include prayer, one or two readings from the Bible, some music, and communion (receiving the blessed bread and wine from the altar).  Communion at St. Mark's is open to everyone.
