St. Mark’s; Pleasant Hill, CA

This congregation is committed to being a radically loving and welcoming community of faith, centered in the Good News of Jesus Christ. Therefore, in faithfulness to the Gospel and our Lutheran heritage, we promise to share programs, ministries, and pastoral care to all who seek God in this place.

All are expected and encouraged to share fully in the sacramental and general life of this congregation. All are expected and encouraged to engage fully in the nurturing, care, and support of each other and of our congregation.

Grace is for everyone or it isn't grace. It's that simple. It's that amazing.

Excellent. Succinct. To the point. And emphasizes the point, which IS Grace!

Wow - I've read this over and over and each time it touches my heart with the powerful statement that Grace is for everyone - It's not a cliche, it's the simple truth - It doesn't try to justify or label whom this grace is for- there's no way you can miss it,,. It is for Everyone.
