WELCOME
As the Episcopal branch of the Christian faith, we believe in extending the love of God to all. In fact, that’s what we’re trying to become: the shape God’s love takes in the world.
Our mission is to be an open and inclusive community that reaches out to the last, the least, the lost, and the left behind.
Worship With Us
At St. Mark’s we offer a variety of worship services, groups and classes for people of all ages, both on Sunday mornings and throughout the week. See below for a detailed schedule of offerings. All are welcome, come as you are!
Saturday
-
This quiet, contemplative service features music from Taize (the ecumenical, monastic community in France) chanted psalms, and a guided lectio divina on the readings appointed for Sunday in place of a homily. Punctuated by periods of silent prayer, Light in the Darkness is a way to find peace amidst the chaos, and come home to the one who has made his home in us–closer than thought, closer than breathing, closer to us than we are to ourselves. Come and see!
Sunday
-
Our primary vehicle for Children’s formation is Godly Play—a gentle, contemplative, Montessori-based program that immerses children in the Bible and church liturgy through storytelling, wonder, and play.
Godly Play is open to all children ages 4–12. We meet together on Sundays from 9:15-10:15 a.m. in our basement classroom.
-
Youth at St. Mark’s engage with Mtr. Holly and the Journey to Adulthood curriculum in deepening their relationship to Jesus, asking questions, and exploring topics around Spirituality, Self, and Society. What does it mean to be an inquiring, faithful disciple of Jesus who walks the way of love in the 21st Century? Some of the holy habits we will cultivate include: prayer & meditation, reflecting on scripture, serving others, and participating in the life of the parish. We’ll practice holding paradoxes, asking questions, and articulating our faith in a way that is personally relevant and authentic. All are welcome. Come as you are!
-
This year we will continue walking with the Pilgrim curriculum from the Episcopal Church to go deeper on our journey as disciples of Christ. Newcomers and longtimers alike are invited to gather in the Bates Room on the second floor at 9:15 a.m. on Sunday mornings.
-
Children’s choir is another opportunity for young people to encounter God through hymnody and song. Children’s Choir members are regular participants in Sunday worship services and learn basic musical skills like singing in-tune, correct vocal technique, beginning notation, and movement. Children’s Choir meets weekly on Sundays immediately after Godly Play until the Passing of the Peace (45 minutes–1 hour).
-
This is our principal weekly worship service (also known as Holy Communion or Mass). The service is livestreamed to YouTube for those unable to attend.
Nursery care is available for children ages 1-5 during this service.

Join Fr. Tyler, Mtr. Holly, and Michelle Doherty LCSW, for a time of contemplative prayer. Newcomers & beginners are welcome, and instruction in silent prayer is given at each session. Contemplation is a receptive method of Christian silent prayer which deepens our relationship with God, the Indwelling Presence … a prayer in which we can experience God’s presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself.
-
Join Canon Judy Atherton and Father Tyler Doherty on Zoom for a fun hour of discussion and theological reflection using short fiction as our launching pad. We’ll discuss a piece of fiction each week and reflect theologically on how the story can illuminate aspects of our relationship with God, ourselves, each other, and creation.

The Cathedral Church of St. Mark generates its own clean, renewable power thanks to a funding award from Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky program participants and the estate of Meredith Simmons. This money supported the installation of a solar energy generation plant with three rooftop panel arrays at the Cathedral. The plant began generating power in early March of 2021.
