Children’s Ministry
(Grades 6 and Under)
Children are the future and the Bible tells us to “Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.” Proverbs 22:6. Saint Mark provides many wonderful opportunities to be with Christian friends as they grow in their relationship to God.
If you are looking for a place with a genuine love of God and one another, Saint Mark is the place for you. For more information, contact Donna, Director of Youth and Children’s Ministries, at 882-2603 or dposton@saintmarkumcseneca.org.

Youth Vision Statement
As Saint Mark youth, we believe that Jesus is the light to the world

We come together to learn about God's Word, God's Grace,
and witness for Jesus Christ.
Youth Programs
Saint Mark offers “God centered” programs to foster growth and faith development in our youth. We strive to encourage one another and build each other up as we walk our own spiritual journey as well as reaching out to the community through missions.
Check out our Photos. Sunday School is here.
