Our Church

St Mark Lutheran Church became a member congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod Indiana District on December 31, 1976. LCMS congregations accept and preach the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three phrases: Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone.
