God's work. St Mark's hands.

As an ELCA congregation, St. Mark's Lutheran Church is called to embrace cultural, ethnic and racial differences, help the less fortunate, confront racism, and to advocate for justice and fairness for all people. In daily life, cultural, ethnic and racial differences matter, but they can be seen and celebrated as what God intends them to be — blessings rather than means of oppression and discrimination. We are a church that belongs to Christ, where there is a place for everyone. Christ’s church is not ours to control, nor is it our job to sort, divide, categorize or exclude. But it is our place to aid our fellow man, especially the less fortunate, and to speak out on important issues of social justice such as creation care, criminal justice, economic welfare, education, health care, access to enough food and clean water, climate justice, peace, ethnicity and culture, and more.
