Church and Society Committee
| St. Mark's Committees |

The mission of the Church and Society Committee is to stay in contact with district, conference, and general church groups working on social issues and bring to our congregation needs for study and/or action projects (Book of Discipline, paragraph 253). This is accomplished by

  • Keeping ourselves, our pastors, and our church council aware of study and action needs and opportunities in our community, state, nation, and the world.

  • Sponsoring social education such as classes on the Social Principles (United Methodist policy regarding social issues) and related issues.

  • Engaging in social service such as sponsoring blood drives and providing food to the poor and homeless.

  • Engaging in social witness and taking social action. 

  • Making connections with the church at all levels and outside the church with particular emphasis on issues within our own community.

  • Advocating for and responding to the peace and justice needs of all people and all of creation.
