Music at St. Mark's

The Music Ministry here at St. Mark's plays a vital role in our worship life together. We draw on our musicians from all ages and from many different kinds of music making to enhance our worship. We also have, as a core, a commitment to music education.

We believe that music is a skill that can and should be learned, especially as a worshipping community. We have instruments and wonderful teaching tools to help us proclaim the good news. We hope you will consider making a "Joyful Noise" with us. More information about our various music groups can be found on this page.
