youth

Welcome!  Please join us!

Youth Group meets for service projects, for spiritual nourishment, and for fun and games! Contact Lily Dodge, Children & Youth Minister, (lily@saint-marks.com) for more information.

The Saint Mark’s Youth Ministry welcomes our youth to grow in faith and maturity by learning about the wisdom of our Christian tradition and incorporating these values into their lives.

Teens are loved, supported, and inspired to safely and confidently explore the world around them, to learn from each other and to strengthen their awareness of God’s love.
