Our current facilities limit our ability to do God’s work. We need spaces that are adaptable for groups large and small; for our students to gather and celebrate their accomplishments in music and song; and a chapel where someone who is hurting can pray, no matter what time or day.

We surveyed parishioners, parents, students, staff, and community leaders for their recommendations – then created a new master plan for the St. Mark’s church and school campus.

The first phase, the youth center and gymnasium, is now under construction. It was financed in large part by contributions to the school annual fund and auction that enabled us to obtain bank financing at favorable rates and manageable within our operating budgets.

We are now raising money for the second phase … the main church and school campus. Construction will cost about $12 million. We are in the leadership phase of the campaign … from that we will have a good idea how much we can raise and how much, if any, will need to be financed.

The church and school are both in excellent financial condition, and our leadership is confident that we can bring this to fruition without undue burden.

Our campaign theme is WE WILL! Build in Faith, because that is the way we live our lives, in faith that the Lord will guide and direct us.
