St. Mark’s is a vibrant, growing, inclusive, and multicultural community rooted in our shared baptismal covenant and secure in the promise that baptism marks us as Christ’s own forever.

Respecting the dignity of all people we welcome everyone, embrace differences, foster creativity, and nurture the unique gifts of each person. We come together in worship drawing on our ancient liturgical traditions while being enriched by newer expressions. We come together to learn and grow in our faith, welcoming questions, inviting dialogue, and forming the whole person in Christ. We joyfully carry our faith into the world, sharing Christ’s love through our actions towards each other, our community, the Diocese of Chicago, and the world. We worship, learn, and serve, proclaiming our commitment to understand and follow Christ’s challenging Gospel.
