Our values and priorities

At St Mark’s, we’re learning what it means to follow Jesus together in a changing world. Our life and worship are shaped by three core values.

Encounter
We believe lives are transformed through genuine encounter with the presence of God. Worship, prayer, and openness to the Holy Spirit are central to who we are. We seek to create space for people to meet with God, be renewed by His love, and experience His power at work in their lives.

Formation
We believe following Jesus is a lifelong journey of becoming who He is forming us to be. Rooted in Scripture and shaped by spiritual practices and community, we seek to grow as disciples whose faith is worked out in the everyday rhythms of life — changed from the inside out.

Mission
We believe the church exists for the sake of the world. Mission flows naturally from encounter and formation: as people meet Jesus and learn His way of life, they are sent to live out the good news. We seek to share hope in word and action, joining God in His work of renewal in our neighbourhoods and beyond.
