St. Mark’s Building Renewal Committee Parish Survey 2023

With the purpose or renewing and renovating St. Mark’s worship space and environs in our 75th year, the Rector and Vestry of St. Mark’s have commissioned a Building Team to carry out a process of discernment and design guided by gifted sacred space consultant Robert Habiger. We are working to widen the welcome and upgrade our facilities in a way that strengthens our connection to God and each other for generations to come.

As we begin this important work of celebrating our past and looking toward our future together, we would like to hear from the congregation. The following survey is anonymous and encourages some narrative responses along with multiple choice answers. We want to understand your perspective in your own voice. For families, we’d like each member to complete an individual survey. You can respond a little or a lot. There are no wrong comments. As a hallmark of ministry of the laity at St. Mark’s, we hope to have a nearly universal response. Both our individual and corporate voices will build something truly beautiful for God and the people of St. Mark’s as we look to our next 75 years of ministry together.

Please submit your response by 2/12/2023. Thank you!

Join us tomorrow, Sunday February 5 at 11:15 a.m. to meet our Architectural Consultant Robert Habiger and dive deeply into the "Soul of Worship – Why buildings Matter?" See more about Robert below.
