Who we are
St. Mark's is a diverse community of members and friends who gather for worship and learning which strengthens us for ministry in the wider community. In our local community we are involved in campus and prison ministry. We support Ryandale house (local shelter), Martha's Table (local community kitchen) and the local food bank. We minister to the world thru Canadian Lutheran World Relief. We are a reconciling in Christ Congregation.
We as a faith community proclaim the message that the Grace of God is infinitely inclusive and that everyone is welcome through our doors.
We welcome all who are seeking God’s love and grace.
We welcome all because God welcomes all regardless of race culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship status.
We welcome all without regard to addictions, physical or mental health, imprisonment, socio-economic circumstances, or anything that too often divides us.
We pledge to ourselves and to all others that we will strive to live as a reconciling people, in our life together and in our outreach to the world.

St Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church History
In the summer of 1946, Waterloo Lutheran Seminary students Eric and John Reble conducted a survey in Kingston to determine the number of Lutherans living in Kingston. As a result, St. Mark’s Lutheran Church was formally organized as a congregation, April 16, 1950, with 61 members. Over the years the congregation has seen many changes. We were founded as a church that was comprised mainly of European immigrants and second generations European immigrants. Now we are a congregation that is committed to being of service to our surrounding community.
"Yes, Lord"
"Yes, Lord! Jesus, I give all of this to you. Jesus," I just started out a dream for my neighbourhood. "I didn't ask you to make me a messenger to the world. I just wanted to love my neighbours. But Jesus, here it is. Here's my future, here's my loneliness, here are all the pressures, here are the criticism", and I gave Him everything. And I told Him to take me again and I would try to make "Yes, Lord" the continuing motto of my life..
