Who
We Are

Our Mission.

St. Mark's is committed to embodying an all encompassing mission to provide an embracing space for everyone, unified in diversity, and bound together in a covenant of community. We are a spiritual sanctuary where learning about God's love is at the forefront, and sharing this divine affection with all people is our cherished duty.

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

— Galatians 3:28

Our Vision.

Our vision sets our sights on becoming a lighthouse of faith for individuals across all walks of life. We strive to offer prayers as a unified family and to disseminate the Word of God, thereby illuminating the path for many.

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

— Matthew 5:14-16

Our Beliefs.

Our beliefs are anchored in the profound love of God, which flows through us and extends to our brothers and sisters. We proudly uphold the pillars of inclusion and diversity, recognizing that our strength lies in the unique tapestry of our community members. We steadfastly believe in serving the community of Haines City and its surroundings, thus bringing to life the values we hold dear.

At St. Mark's, we embrace our mission and vision as guiding lights, helping us serve our community better, and leading us to create a more inclusive and diverse world rooted in the love of God.

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

— John 13:34-35
