We recognize that the Church has not always been a safe and affirming place for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families. We want you to have clarity and joy in the knowledge that St. Mark's & St. John's is a safe haven for all LGBTQ+ people. We believe that the Kin-dom of God is far, wide, and diverse - and that we are better together when we draw our circle wide. 

 

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you can trust that you are welcomed into full sacramental life and worship of our community, and encouraged to participate in leadership, ministry, and mission at any and all levels. 

 

Our church leadership is diverse in orientation and identity, and we're committed to  continuing to learn, grow, and act in ways that affirm and celebrate all of God's people. If Church hasn't always felt good for you, if God seems distant, or you have questions about if you belong - we're here for you. We see you. We love you.
