Music

Music is an integral element of the worship experience at St. Mark’s. We celebrate music as a gift from God. Through music, we praise and glorify God, sharing God’s word with the Church and the community. 

St. Mark’s is blessed to be able to offer special musical events for the community throughout the year.

For more information about music at St. Mark’s, contact Tony Cruz at vespers@comcast.net, or 904-396-9608, ext. 12, or visit Tony’s blog at www.smljax.blogspot.com   

We welcome you to join us as we make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
