St. Mark  - a congregation of the Evangelical Church in America (ELCA) WELCOMES all and welcomes all ages to Holy Communion. St. Mark celebrates partnerships with other Christians and other faith traditions. 
 A word about our understanding of the word EVANGELICAL (meaning "good news") 

The first “evangelicals” were the courageous Christians who gathered 500 years ago around Martin Luther, the monk who taught faith insights so revolutionary that the church at the time excommunicated him as a heretic and the Protestant Reformation begain. Luther’s teachings still inspire millions, but interestingly today's North America the term “evangelicals” is now more likely to be associated with non-ELCA Lutherans.

St. Mark welcomes you! Most at St. Mark are "members," but many others are friends of the congregation, occasional visitors, and some are also involved in more than one church home. "Membership" is not required for full participation in the life and ministry of St. Mark.

Those interested in HOLY BAPTISM, or church membership can talk with Pastor Halaas or call the church office. New members are received at numerous times through the year. An informational session is often held prior to New Member Sunday.

We say welcome through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism...and also by "affirmation of baptism" and/or a "membership transfer" from another congregation.
