For decades, a hallmark of St. Mark’s community life has been intellectual curiosity and a focus on lay-organized classes that help participants wrestle with the hard questions of life, relationships, and theology.

We are St. Mark’s Christian Education program

Our mission is to present a range of educational opportunities that strengthen, enlighten, inspire, and comfort us.

Current and Upcoming Courses

    Wednesday Noon Bible Study (WNBS): Every Wednesday from 12noon to 1pm on Zoom

    Every Wednesday on Zoom

    What do we do in WNBS? We actually read the text, the whole genealogy, then study the text (what do you know, five women are listed in the genealogy of Jesus!); then remember the historical context of both the Gospel itself and its author; review their rhetorical approach; ask questions; seek to deepen the meaning we derive from our study; and, share in our loving community.

    This year, as the walls of our Constitution are breached, the temples of government institutions are dismantled stone by stone, and our people are scattered from their jobs, can we remember solid ground and basic trust by studying our Biblical tradition and lore? Yes! In our conversations with one another and our biblical ancestry we can find resilience, resistance, and renewable faith.

    Deepening Community: Spring Workshop 2026

    Saturday, March 7, 2026
    Lea Crusey, Bill Jordan, and Sheridan Leinbach invite you to join them for the fourth annual, one-day workshop on building a vital church community. St. Mark’s continues to grow and flourish, welcoming new individuals and families every Sunday. As we move into this next stage of life together, we want to take a deeper look at how to support one another, nurture intergenerational connections, and strengthen our church community. Building on the work of previous workshops in 2022, 2024, and 2025 and with new community members, we will examine what it means to truly belong, what can make it hard to stay, what holds us together, and what strengthens bonds. Whether you have been a member of the St. Mark’s community for a month or 25+ years, all are welcome to attend. Contact Bill Jordan to register (jordans4[at]verizon.net) for more information and to register. Watch for a sign up sheet in the foyer.
