At St Mark’s United Methodist Church, we believe that marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman, ordained by God. This commitment is founded on love, respect, and mutual support. Our faith teaches us that marriage is more than a legal and social contract; it is a spiritual bond that serves as a reflection of God's love for his people.
