Christian Education

Saint Mark's has several Christian Education programs designed to provide opportunities for spiritual development and growth in the Christian Faith for every member of our parish family. Christian education offerings are on summer break and will resume in the fall.

Sunday Offering
On Sunday mornings, our Christian Education runs from 9:15 to 10:15 AM.  Our Sunday offering includes Children’s Sunday School for children, age 4 through grade 5, Youth Forum for those in grades 6 to 12 and Adult Forum. At St. Mark's we strive to provide all ages with a deepening knowledge of the Christian faith, as well as providing spiritual growth for our lives as Christians.

Wednesday Offering
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Christian Education program for children ages 3 through 9. Catechesis is offered Wednesday evenings beginning at 5:00 PM.

At the same time we offer The Institute of the Good Shepherd for adults. Every session uses as a starting point the lesson plan of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and then moves to a more in-depth discussion guided by the parish clergy. All adults are welcome to attend this very informative discussion-oriented class. The evening concludes with Holy Eucharist at 7:00 PM.

Wednesday Morning Bible Study is offered at 10:30 AM in the Conference Room. The parish clergy lead the study.  The Study is concluded with Noon Day Prayer at 12:00 PM.  All are invited to spend your morning learning more about the Christian Faith through the texts of Holy Scripture.

Seasonal Offering
Other seasonal offerings are announced according to schedule, and include:

  • Coming Into Christ, a twelve week course in Christian discipleship
  • Stations of the Cross, offered during the season of Lent
  • Periodic quiet days and various opportunities for spiritual reflection
  • Topical studies based on current events
