New to Faith

Welcome to Your Faith Journey

Exploring faith is a deeply personal and transformative experience. Whether you are just beginning to ask questions about Christianity or looking for a community to support your spiritual journey, St. Mark’s Church welcomes you with open arms.

What is Christianity?

Christianity is centered on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. It is a faith built on love, grace, and hope, offering a relationship with God and a way of life guided by scripture and prayer. As a Christian, you are invited to grow in faith, serve others, and experience God’s love in everyday life.

How to Begin Your Faith Journey

Starting your faith journey can feel overwhelming, but you are not alone. Here are some steps to help you explore and deepen your faith:

1. Attend a Service

Join us for worship and experience a welcoming community of believers. Our services include prayer, music, and messages that help connect faith to daily life.

2. Read the Bible

The Bible is the foundation of Christian belief. If you are new to reading scripture, we recommend starting with the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) to learn about Jesus’ life and teachings.

3. Pray and Reflect

Prayer is a way to communicate with God. Whether through spoken words, silent reflection, or written thoughts, prayer helps deepen your relationship with God.

4. Join a Small Group

Our church offers study groups, prayer circles, and discussion groups that allow you to ask questions, share experiences, and grow in faith with others.

5. Explore the Alpha Course

The Alpha Course is a great way to explore life, faith, and meaning in an open and informal environment. It consists of a series of interactive sessions that encourage conversation about Christianity in a relaxed setting. Whether you’re new to faith or simply curious, Alpha is a great place to start. Contact us to learn more about upcoming Alpha sessions.

6. Speak with a Member of Our Team

If you have questions about faith, our clergy and pastoral team are here to support you. We are happy to listen, guide, and pray with you as you explore what Christianity means in your life.

Next Steps

If you feel ready to take the next steps in your faith, you may consider baptism, confirmation, or joining our church community. We can guide you through these steps at your own pace.
