Why should I get the St. Mark's App?
The app gives us one central place to connect. Over time, we will continue building it out with helpful tools and information, but even now it is a great way to access worship, sermons, giving, and church updates quickly.
It also helps us communicate better as a church family. When people use the app and register with the email address the church has on file, it helps make sure our records are accurate and that you can access the tools connected to your St. Mark’s profile.
And that gives us a great opportunity to say that now is a wonderful time to make sure we have your most current contact information. If you have changed your email address, phone number, mailing address, or household information, please check in with us after worship or contact the church office. Accurate information helps us care for one another, communicate clearly, and stay connected.
