COLLEGE MINISTRY

It is our goal to reach out to our college students and those serving our country while they are away from home. We want them to know that we at St. Mark are thinking and praying for them. The goal is to touch base with them approximately 4-5 times each year. We plan to primarily reach out via email or cards with 1-2 care packages. If you have a family member or friend who would enjoy receiving correspondences from us, please let us know.
