Grow - Christian formation and nurture for all ages


Welcome to a lifelong journey of growth - Christian formation and nurture that continues from infancy through old age, constant unfolding of the life and mind of Christ in our own lives and in our life in community.

At St. Mark's you will find growth simply in being part of this faith community and sharing your perspective while listening to others.

The liturgy itself is an occasion for growth - full of scripture and reflection on its meaning and application to daily life - our minds as well as our hearts and hands reach out for more life for ourselves and others.

For children, youth and adults there are other specific "in-person" and online occasions to encounter and reflect on all that may be part of our Christian faith and practice.

For everyone, our daily "practice" (which may include reading, meditation, prayer and service) is the context for significant growth. In families with children, the day-by-day modeling of faithful living and service as well as intentional conversation and prayer is key.

You may find a class, a sermon, other resources on this website. You will also find information about upcoming programs.

The aim is not to be "done" as with old-fashioned school programs. Instead, enjoy the scenery, enter life ever more deeply, delight in being part of a community that is discovering "all things new."
