Members

St. Mark’s Lutheran Church congregation acknowledges three types of membership: baptized, confirmed, and voting.

  • Baptized members are those baptized in the name of the Triune God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and who are under the spiritual care of the church, including children who have not yet been confirmed, and those transferring from another Christian church where they were baptized.
  • Confirmed members are those baptized members who have been instructed in the Lutheran faith, accepted the confessional standard, have completed the required instruction, and are not members of organizations whose principles and conduct conflict with the Word of God.
  • Voting members are confirmed members who have reached the age of 18 years, have been received as confirmed members, and are not members of organizations whose principles and conduct conflict with the Word of God.
  • Membership in this congregation shall be terminated as follows:

Membership shall be terminated by transfer to a sister congregation, by joining a congregation outside the fellowship of this congregation, by self-exclusion, by excommunication, or by death.  Confirmed members who conduct themselves in an un-Christian like manner shall be admonished according to Matthew 18: 15 – 20. If they remain impenitent after proper admonition, they shall be excommunicated. In all disciplinary cases, the congregation will follow its stated and adopted guidelines for all disciplinary measures.

Our current mission partner is Jesus es la Vida Lutheran Church in La Fragua, Guatemala. We are working to help this congregation acquire a better footing for reaching into their own community with the message of salvation and help their neighbors with their physical needs.
We will be returning to Guatemala the week of October 7-14, 2023. Contact Sheri Haas for more information at shaas@stmarkseureka.org.

The Confirmation Ministry of St. Mark’s works to help give 7th and 8th graders what they need to grow in their relationship with Jesus. We do this with a mixture of presentations of the six chief parts of Lutheran doctrine followed by small group discussions during 30 Learning Events over 2 years.

By-products of these small group discussions are relationships the teens develop with their adult mentors and the other young people in their group. These relationships are encouraged with monthly Fellowship Events in which the small group members do fun activities together. These relationships are very important since spiritual education does not end after 8th grade.

Dear parents,

It is time to train the next class of youth to receive the Lord’s Supper, a powerful gift from the God who loves us and knows just what a Christian needs to thrive in this world.  I look forward to our time together as we look into the Word of God and learn about this blessing.
 
The Communion Seminar is intended for the 6th grade families, but we also include the families of 7th and 8th graders who have not yet had the training.  The seminar is a three-session series beginning Sunday, October 29, and ending on Sunday, November 12th. The classes will occur during the Sunday School hour beginning at 11:00 a.m. First Communion is on the following Sunday, November 19th during the 9:30 a.m. worship service. Following the service, a reception will be held in the lobby.
 
This training is vital to the proper understanding of the Sacrament of the Alter and critical instruction in the self-examination commanded in 1 Corinthians 11.  Because of this, it is very important to make every effort to attend each class and be faithful in preparing for the interview after the class on the 5th.
 
It is expected that at least one parent will attend the class with your student so that you will be able to discuss what is taught and are better able to answer questions your child may have.
 
The topics covered will be:
 
October 29th : Self Examination:  How? and Why?  (1 Corinthians 11)
 
November 5th: The History of the Lord’s Supper.  (Exodus 5-12).
This class will be followed by a Pizza Lunch, during which I will be interviewing students
 
November 12th: What We Receive in the Holy Meal:  The Real Presence and the Benefits of Communion

Please submit the applications below.

Serving Him with you,
Pastor Bob Liebmann

A big part of St. Mark’s Youth Ministry is our trips. We value the impact of Youth Mission Trips as they have shown to be life-changing events. They give teens the opportunity to live for days thinking first about the very real needs of others and come to appreciate the blessings we enjoy as a part of our daily lives. The depth of this realization can change how they relate to God and those who are in need.

St. Mark's Youth Mission Trips

St. Mark’s 2023 Arizona Mission Trip Information

 

In a region where Christians are often disdained for their faith, there are churches across the Navajo reservation striving to honor God in the midst of challenges.  Join us on this mission trip in the remote desert to build relationships with Native American brothers and sisters.  You will serve alongside them to assist their local church and needs in the surrounding community.  It’s an amazing opportunity to serve while immersed in the Navajo culture!  This will be our 10th trip to Black Mesa to stay at Pastor JR’s church and work in the community!

 

Who is invited:  Anyone entering high school through entering your second year of college in the Fall of 2023

What we will be doing:  Participating in projects such as painting, roofing, drywalling, and other home repairs.  Pastor Bob will teach you whatever you need to know!  You will have the opportunity to work with the Navajo people and build relationships by tangibly sharing God’s love. And you get to try your hand at making Navajo Tacos! There will be a bonfire one night and hiking in Box Canyon.
 
Lodging and food: It is so beautiful there – wait till you see the view! We will sleep at the local church on top of Black Mesa. Inflatable mattresses will be set up on the floor. There is no running water at the church. You will be using outhouses and taking showers in outdoor shower stalls. Experience Mission will prepare our meals each day.
