Children and Youth

Children and youth are a vibrant part of our community at St. Mark’s. We create space for wonder and exploration of Bible stories, provide opportunities for making friends, and lead activities with parishioners of all ages.

Sunday Mornings

Sunday morning activities for children and youth are scheduled in tandem with the 10:00am worship service. Please walk your child(ren) to the Education Wing where the age appropriate activities below will take place. Children and youth, ages PreK through Grade 12, will be brought to the sanctuary to rejoin their parents in worship at the Peace. (Visit this webpage if you’re not sure where “the Peace” fits in to the order of worship, or even what it is!)

Nursery

The nursery provides childcare for babies during Sunday morning church activities.

Godly Play
