Adult Education

Our faith continues to develop and deepen throughout our lives.  We at St. Mark provide several different ways for adults to learn more about the Bible and our faith tradition, to connect with God through spiritual practices, and to put our faith in action through service and life in community. 

Weekly Offerings

• Tuesday Noon Bible Study – Join Pastor Lauren on Tuesdays at noon for an informal study to review the lectionary texts for the upcoming Sunday service. 
• Adult Faith Formation – Offered on Sundays at 11am after worship from September-May.  This weekly offering involves various speakers and teachers leading sessions or series to develop faith among adults. Some past series have been: Acts and 7 Habits of Discipleship and Angels in Bible.  Talk to Pastor Lauren if you are interested in teaching or leading a session or series!
