St. Mark's Church - Burlington, Mebane, North Carolina

If you’ve been around St. Mark’s for any length of time, you’ve probably discovered that we place a really high value on people being connected in group life. But if you’re new to the church or not participating in a small group, you might be asking yourself, “What’s the big deal?" Well, as St. Mark’s continues to grow larger, small groups become the best way to ensure relational connections on your spiritual journey. In a small group, you will learn truth from Scripture, sharing your thoughts, feelings, struggles and joys as you apply biblical principles to your lives. You will learn more about who God is as you watch Him at work in the lives of others and as others help you see His hand at work in your own life.

Why Small Groups?
At St. Mark’s, we believe that the small group environment is the best place for life change to happen as group members study biblical truth in the context of long-term relationships. Small Groups are where the truth of Scripture intersects with real life. This is the environment where friends can struggle together with faith issues and life events. It is also a safe place to investigate the claims Jesus made about himself and what it means to live a Christ-centered life.
