OUR TEAM

Church isn’t just run by pastors and paid staff. Every member of St Marks is part of our mission to reach, love and serve others, as Jesus compels us to do. The work of our church is done by countless people who spend their weeks contributing in various ways.

They lead, equip and support us, so we can love others, grow deeper in the Word, glorify God, share the gospel, and serve with courage and creativity. They do this in focused ways, but as a unified team that seeks the good of God’s people at church.
