Welcome to the St. Mark Youth Group!

We are excited to announce that we have implemented Life Teen at St. Mark!  We’ve had successful junior and senior high school youth groups for years now, and this was an excellent opportunity for us to take our youth ministry program to the next level.  We hope to see you there!

Meeting Times

Senior Youth Group is for all youth in grades 8-12.  We meet year-round on Sunday evenings in the Youth Group room, 6:00-7:30pm. Most meetings also include dinner!

Junior Youth Group is for all youth in grades 6-7.  We meet Thursday evenings October through April, after Religious Education clasees, 7:00-8:00pm in the Parish Center Gym.

Our Mission

The mission of the St. Mark Youth Group is to come together as the youth of St. Mark Church in a safe and confidential environment where we can talk with peers about the issues that we face, discuss our morals and values, and make connections with our church community through a variety of activities and prayer. The Youth Groups for middle school and high school students recognize Christ at the center of their lives through prayer, worship, service projects and social activities that help them to form a bond of fellowship and grow in faith.
