St Mark South Farnborough

At St Mark’s we come together as the family of Christ, to worship God in the power of the Holy Spirit

One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. Psalm 145: 4

At St. Mark’s we share the love of God in order to make and support disciples.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28: 19 - 20

Join us at St Mark’s where everyone is welcome in God’s unconditional love.

Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. Matthew 10: 40

At St Mark’s we celebrate being an ‘open church’.
But what do we mean by ‘open church’?
It’s really simple. We’re a church that is open for everyone, and everyone is welcome, because that is what we believe church is all about. Another way to describe it is family, and everyone is part of the family.
As an open church we come together as a family, we worship as a family, we celebrate who we are as a family, and we have fun as a family.
Being an ‘open church’ has a real impact on the values we share.
One of our key values is we are inclusive of all people. We try not to draw distinctions between people using measures or barriers that have been invented by people. These are often barriers and labels that are designed to keep us apart. Instead we meet everyone as who we are, because that’s how Jesus meets us. Jesus meets us and loves us as who we are.
Jesus taught us to ‘love our neighbour as ourselves’, and part of the meaning of this is that we love each other as the people we are. And, we can receive the love of other people as who they are.
So what can we expect when we come together as a family?
We really mean coming together as a family. We all worship together, with reflection, prayers, singing, and sharing bread and wine. The younger members of the family have an opportunity to share an activity, under the watchful eye of Marcus- our friendly lion- and team of children’s leaders.
We also share time to chat and drink tea (or coffee)- there’s always time for tea at St Mark’s- definitely more tea Vicar!
