...get married at St. Mark’s?
Because God is the great designer of all life and the ever-present companion in all relationships entered into by believers, a Christian wedding begins with a wedding ceremony which is at its core a worship service. The pastors and people of St. Mark’s hold the belief that a couple needs a place for their marriage as much as they need a place for their wedding. Therefore, our goal at St. Mark’s is to encourage you to be an active participant at St. Mark’s so that you can return week after week to receive God’s love and forgiveness and find friends to help you keep your vows. Weddings may be fun, but marriages can be hard, and keeping close to God and the church helps. If you are interested in celebrating your marriage vows at St. Mark’s, please contact the church office or call 651-777-7451. Download the wedding planning guide.
