Men’s Coffee + Co-Op
Tuesday Mornings | Coffee 6:15am-6:45am | Study 6:45-7:45am
Men—dive into community on Tuesday mornings at St. Mark’s! Our Men’s Coffee and Co-Op is an elective-based experience providing multiple ways to engage in fellowship over a cup of coffee, studies, and even an early morning workout. You can come to any or all of these, but we hope you don’t miss this chance to connect with other guys in our community!
Coffee fellowship from 6:15-6:45am at the Mission Café will be the central hub of the morning. Come get to know and hang out with other men over coffee.
Before this, there will be an F3 (Fitness, Fellowship, Faith) workout from 5:30-6:15am, in the ballfield parking lot. Come out and build relationships—and your fitness level—at the same time!
After coffee fellowship, choose from book and Bible studies from 6:45-7:45am, will help deepen your faith with a variety of options to engage in together.
Starting January 13, Jarm Turner will be leading a study on the book A Tale of Three Kings, by Gene Edwards.
This popular book explores the stories of David, Saul, and Absalom, looking at themes of brokenness, leadership, submission, and God's process for developing leaders, how to handle abuse of authority and finding healing through suffering. It's a study on how leaders are often tested by God through difficult situations to foster humility and true service, rather than personal power.

For Your Neighbor Series Study
September 10-October 29 | 6:30-8:00pm | Atrium
St. Mark’s Community Church has a vision to make a Kingdom impact from the Triad to the Triangle. The Book of Acts gives us a picture of what it looks like to be a church on mission. The early church was unapologetically committed to inviting all people into the community of God. They were willing to make tremendous sacrifices for their neighbor.
Jesus had a plan for how a small group of people would impact Jerusalem (small), Judea (bigger), Samaria (even bigger...and messier) and the ends of the earth (huge)!
Now it’s our turn to be the Church! It’s our turn to step outside of our comfort zone and to faithfully respond to the mission field all around us. As a church, we are given a task to be witnesses to the Love of God: here in west Burlington, in east Burlington, from the Triad to the Triangle, and to the ends of the earth.

To register for our online study, click the button below! This study will meet online at the same time as our in-person study.
In addition to our Wednesday night study (above), men and women can choose to engage in this study as part of the Men’s Coffee and Co-Op on Tuesday mornings or the Women’s Coffee and Co-Op on Thursday mornings.
