Why Now?

Our facilities are reaching a crisis point. Leaking roofs and broken pews are what you see on the surface; it’s worse underneath. We have asbestos-layered-on-asbestos under every floor, and a foundation resting on old telephone poles that are rotting into the earth. The truth is that much of our campus was built by the men of the church on the weekends through the 60s and 70s, which, yes, contributed to establishing the wonderful, boot-strapping, even-keeled personality of our parish that endures to today, but it also produced a quality of construction that was never intended to last beyond a generation or two. We have known about these issues for decades, but we have always lacked the resources to get to the root of the problems–until now. 

We don’t want to sell our property to solve it. We feel called to be the generation that secures the long-term future of St. Mark’s on this special piece of greenbelt, to honor those that have come before us, in service of those who will come long after. Like many homes in our area, research told us that renovation of our existing structures would be unpredictable and cost prohibitive; that it would be more wiser and affordable to start from scratch if we could do so. By grace, we are stewards of eight-acres, which gives us the space and freedom to do just that–to build a new St. Mark’s right here on our same campus.
