Pastor Larry Keller : In my almost 5 years at St. Marks I have enjoyed being part
of a Church that has roots and wings.
Roots, as our Church has been serving Jesus Christ for over 50 years.
At the same time we are open to new ways of being the Church for the
Twenty-first Century. This looks like newly installed multi-media
equipment in our Sanctuary, a new Director of Hispanic ministries,
housing the homeless four times a year, Pastor of Faith Indian Fellowship,
and Angel Food Ministry. We are a Church that is open to all people and
not only "talks the talk," but "walks the walk" as disciples of Jesus Christ."
