Who we are
St. Mark Youth Ministries is a faith community of young people who strive to grow, share, and serve in discipleship to Jesus Christ, and are invited to and equipped with a real faith for their real lives.
Students in junior high (7th or 8th grade) participate in CREW, which meets weekly on Wednesday evenings and prepares them for confirmation in their 9th grade year. More information about CREW is available here.
Students in high school (9th – 12th grade) participate in Eikon, which meets weekly on Sunday evenings. More information about Eikon is available here.
