Shining Christ’s L.I.G.H.T. on paths that lead all people to abundant life in Clanton Park and Beyond.
Have you see this package recently, do you want to know what this is about?
St. Mark’s UMC has embarked on a transformation journey. The journey has led us to what we have discerned as God’s preferred future for St. Mark’s the vision: Shining Christ’s L.I.G.H.T. on paths that lead all people to abundant life in Clanton Park and Beyond. The L.I.G.H.T. particles of our discipleship path are:
- L-Love
- I-Inspire
- G-Give
- H-Help
- T-Transform
Below are the initial 6 sermons touching on the overall vision and the five particles of L.I.G.H.T.
Welcome to St. Marks United Methodist Church. Nestled in the heart of Charlotte NC’s Clanton Park community, we are a church believing steadfastly in the belief that God has placed us in this place at this time to be a beacon of light in our fast-growing community.
You are God’s workmanship, created in Christ to do good works! We’ll help you discover the life of high adventure when you surrender all to Jesus.
