GENERAL INFO
Our Music Ministry operates to further the LIVE component of St. Mark’s mission by engaging participants in musical offerings.
We serve to glorify God and lead in weekly worship and special occasions. We offer a number of opportunities to make a joyful noise to the Lord, such as the choir, the band, and our various ensembles. Whatever your age, instrument, or musical ability, there is a place for you!
