Who We Are

We are a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

and as such part of the Lower Susquehanna Lutheran Synod.

As one family of faith, within the entire body of Christ, we have striven to be an active Godly witness since our first worship service in 1863. As the first “English” speaking Lutheran Church in Hanover we have continued to grow in the faith. Through a war that divided our country, through World Wars and the great depression, through the surge of the technology age and into the twenty-first century we have stood as a house of the Lord in worship, in education, in community support, and worldwide relief. We are proud of that great heritage and our Lutheran foundation as we continue to serve in response to God’s love, by meeting spiritual needs, caring for the physically or spiritually sick, advocating for dignity and seeking justice for all people.  

 

 

 

St. Mark Vision

St. Mark is called to love as God has first loved all!

  • To accept all people as children of God, loved by the Father.
  • To seek to inspire all people to live a faithful journey of blessings.
  • To use every means possible to worship and praise the Lord in this community and beyond.
  • To be grounded in the teachings of the Lutheran faith as it applies to the 21st century.
  • To serve and love the member and the stranger equally in the peace of God.
