We are excited to welcome to Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church, Penn Yan! We are a congregation of The Episcopal Church that is committed to discerning God’s call to create a community where all people can grow, flourish, and rejoice. Whether you wonder what an “Episcopalian” is, or have been one since birth, there is a place for you here. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, you will find there is a place for you here—there is room for your questions, your stories, your laughter, your doubt, your grief, and your most authentic self.
Our goal at Saint Mark’s is to make our worship simple and holy, lively, and engaging. We invite you to join us, wherever you may be along your own journey of faith. We hope you will feel at ease during worship and can experience the service in an open-hearted, open-minded way. We invite you to participate to whatever degree you can or desire. It is more important to us that you decide for yourself what you find spiritually meaningful and physically comfortable to participate as fully as you desire.
