Our youth group program at St. Mark's is an engaging and inspiring way for young people to make meaningful connections with their faith and their peers. Through weekly meetings, special events, and service projects, we strive to create an environment in which young people feel comfortable expressing themselves and connecting with their faith. We also provide resources and support to help them navigate the difficulties of growing up and finding their place in the world. We offer a safe space to learn and grow, both spiritually and socially. It is our mission to educate and equip our youth with the tools to become engaged, active members of their faith community.
