We are: “Large Enough to Share, and Small Enough to Care”

Community Ministries

Jail Ministry: Our clergy meets with people in jail in Montesano to share the word and pray in fellowship.  This ministry is shared with other churches in Montesano.

Nursing Home Ministry: Members of St. Mark's meet at the nursing home in Montesano for a monthly birthday party for the residents. Weekly pastoral care visits are also made. On call pastoral needs are also met.

Prayer Ministry & Support 
We have an ongoing prayer list of those within our church family and those in our community that can use our prayers for various issues.  The link for our list to the right of this page is available only to members of our church community.  We also have a healing service on the third Sunday of each month where we can have hands on healing prayers and anointing with oil for ourselves or those who we pray for.










Prayer List
