Mark's is a progressive ELCA Lutheran congregation in Jacksonville's historic San Marco neighborhood. We have been an active part of this community since 1938 and take seriously our responsibilities in the city and neighborhood. We are proud to call ourselves an urban Lutheran congregation. Mark's has been known for its excellence in traditional and liturgical forms of worship and sacred music. Wh
ile we are traditional, we are not stuffy or rigid. We understand that God continues to bless his people with new music and new ways to bring praise and glory to God. We are challenging without being preachy, and contemporary without being trendy. Mark's pays close attention to the needs of the people in our congregation and in the world around us. We have well-developed caring ministries for those who are sick or homebound in our congregation. Likewise, we are active in serving and advocating for those in need in Jacksonville, Florida, and around the world. We are a congregation that shares a living, daring confidence in God's grace. Liberated by our faith, we embrace you as a whole person — questions, complexities and all. We are a welcoming congregation where you can express your love for God and for God's people and creation no matter your age, race, economic status, or sexual orientation. You are truly welcome here.
