Midweek and Sunday School serve two distinct and important roles. A family would participate in Sunday School to learn more about the stories of God in light of the greater story of God’s salvation. Midweek is a fun and engaging experience on Wednesday nights (September – April) that is specifically geared towards teaching our youth how these stories and the totality of God’s Word play out in our lives. Students use Biblical stories and principles to discover how the six tenants of the Christian faith form the foundations of their belief in God.
The six tenants are The Ten Commandments, The Apostles Creed, The Lord’s Prayer, The Sacrament of Holy Baptism, The Office of the Keys, and The Sacrament of the Altar.
All six of these tenants are drawn out of God’s Word in Scripture. The goal of St. Mark’s is to shape our children in knowing the reason and purposes that God uses to instruct His people through these tenants of faith. Raising up our children in these tenants of faith then allows for our 8th grade students to confirm the faith God has given to them as they continue to grow into disciples.
