Our Mission

Living to the Glory of God

About ST MARK'S CHURCH

Our mission at St. Mark’s “Living to the Glory of God.” Anglican writer Harold Percy defines living to the glory of God as, “to live in such a way that we enhance God’s reputation in the world. As the church, our calling is to live in such a way that we represent God well, so that those who are estranged from God (whether through indifference, misinformation, or even hostility) will be attracted to and welcome God into their lives.” This is a process, something we are working toward, a journey. How do we do this? We do it as we Come together and invite others to join us as a community of followers of Jesus Christ. We do it as we Grow in worship, learning, service, fellowship, sharing our resources. We do it as we Go out into our circle of family and friends, our neighbourhoods, into the world to proclaim in word and action the gospel. It is helpful to view all that we do at St. Mark’s in the light of “Living to the Glory of God” as we come, grow, and go.
