St. Mark Lutheran Church is a vibrant, multigenerational congregation on the east side of
Rockford, Illinois.
We are delighted that you have chosen to visit our web site and learn more about our exciting ministries. As you view the various links, we hope you will gain a positive sense of our enthusiasm and passion for "Growing in Faith, Sharing God's Grace."
We are confident that you will find numerous opportunities to participate in the life of our congregation and to experience God's unconditional love, forgiveness, and grace.
St. Mark has a strong emphasis on worship, music, youth, education, spiritual formation, and service to others - key characteristics of a healthy, growing church. As we seek to expand each of these areas of ministry, we invite you to join us in our celebration of the Christian life.
Carefully examine the many descriptions of our ministries and prayerfully consider where God might be calling you to participate. Please feel free to contact me or any of the St. Mark staff with your questions or comments.

Drive-In Outdoor Sunday Worship at
9:30 a.m.
Our drive-in outdoor worship service will allow us to gather in person, sing at a distance, and share in communion. We plan on having this be our Sunday morning practice, rain or shine, through at least the end of September.
The outdoor service, which will be at 9:30 am, will take place in the south parking lot. There will be enough space beside each vehicle so that you can bring lawn chairs and sit next to your car if you prefer. We will have a short-range FM broadcast so that you can hear the service through your car stereo or a portable radio.
If you are away or unable to go out in public, the service will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel.

When we are able to gather again to worship
we would love for you to join us any Sunday as we celebrate Holy Communion:
Sunday School will be held remotely for some or all of the 2020-2021 program year.
