The mission of Saint Mark's is to worship and glorify God as a community in the Anglican tradition and to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through word and example.

The Rector, Wardens and Vestry of St. Mark’s Church, Geneva, Illinois, note with thanksgiving the intention of the Archbishop of Canterbury to meet with the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church during its scheduled meeting of September 2007. That meeting and this resolution underline our link to the World-Wide Anglican Communion and our present status as constituent members of the Communion. We are also grateful for those Bishops who are committed to the “Windsor Process” and who intend to fulfill its directives in order to maintain constituent status. We offer our prayers for the Communion at this time.  In order to fulfill our mission statement as a parish, we resolve to maintain our constituent membership in the Anglican Communion and our bond of fellowship with the world-wide church.
 

We are firmly committed to Christian worship, Christian fellowship, Christian outreach, and Christian education.

• A historical form of Christian Worship through liturgy is the central focus of our communal life and reflects our desire to be rooted deeply in the traditions of the Church, the foundations of scripture, and in our heritage as a community. Our worship combines the talents of our priests and lay leaders in celebration of the sacraments, praise and thanksgiving through excellent music, instruction and challenge through inspiring preaching, and prayer for our needs and those of others.
     

• Christian Fellowship includes the many ways in which we nurture and love each other, as we gather together for food and fun and support one another in spiritual learning and growth.
     

• Christian Outreach is the intention of all aspects of our life at St. Mark's, as we seek to bear witness to the truth of God in Christ. We have a vigorous program to help those in need, and we support the work of missions throughout the world.
     

• Christian Education is a vital part of our ministry and centers around a desire to teach the love of Christ as revealed in scripture and to make practical application of our faith to daily life.
