My Own Church Registration
In the summer of 2018 St. Mark updated its accounting software and parishioner database. Since that time, the Parish Staff has been working hard to implement this new technology and increase the efficiency of the Parish Center.
We are now ready to introduce MY OWN CHURCH parish-wide so parishioners can Connect + Communicate + Serve one another in Christ. Registration in MY OWN CHURCH is optional.
Connect: Through a secured mobile directory, parishioners can connect directly with other St. Mark parishioners. Upload your favorite family photo and you can get to know your fellow parishioners by name. You control what contact information is available.
Communicate: Let’s you keep your family information accurate and up to date including addresses,
phone numbers, and emails. We want to be able to communicate with you so you don’t miss out on
any important event in the Parish. View current parish giving or print 2018 Giving History.
Serve: If you currently serve in ministries or would like to serve in ministries, you can volunteer through
MY OWN CHURCH and maintain your availability. Currently serving in a scheduled ministry? View
your schedule online! -
