Starting Point

Starting Point provides a free, no-obligation study of the Christian faith as taught in God’s Word and at St. Mark’s. Participants in the class are eligible for membership at St. Mark’s upon completion. Members are also invited to take the class (and bring a friend with you!) to review the basics of faith and the gospel.

Free childcare will be available, too.

The course centers on our relationship with God. We’ll examine through the Bible what God has done for our relationship with him, and we’ll see how that affects and changes our outlook with fellow believers and the world.
