Who we are
Mission Statement: St. Mark's is a welcoming, caring, affirming and inclusive community. We come together to worship Jesus Christ whose loving example and teachings call us to love God and our neighbors without exception and to serve our communities wherever there is need.
We are a diverse and active parish, located in the heart of downtown Mt. Kisco, drawing our congregation from across Northern Westchester. We invite you to learn more about us here and we hope that you will visit us in person as well.
We seek to serve all persons who may have unanswered spiritual needs; religious questions; major life events; a hunger for a fresh sense of community; or who want to learn more about God, Jesus, the Church, or a Life of Faith. We recognize that the spiritual life is a unique journey for each person. It would be a privilege to have you come and journey with us.
Our weekly Sunday service is a 9:30 am celebration of the Holy Eucharist in the form of Rite II, which uses contemporary language, for most Sundays, and the more Traditional, Rite I, service on a Sunday during each season. We also have a service on Thursday mornings at 9:00 am followed by our Bible/Book Study.

This Week's E-Blast Message from the Rector
“Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you.” Collect for All Saints
This Sunday we celebrate All Saints, and if your mind goes straight to stained glass and golden halos, you’re in good company. But the prayer we’ll pray together asks for something much more down to earth. We’ll ask God for grace “so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living.” Not admire them or light candles to them from a safe distance, but to follow them.
And who gets called blessed? In the Beatitudes, Jesus doesn’t hand the crowd a test to pass. He looks at the poor in spirit, the grieving, the meek, the people hungry for justice and persecuted for it, and he calls them blessed right where they stand. The saints we remember weren’t people who floated above the struggle. They marched and mourned, organized and prayed, and some of them gave their lives in places like Selma and the Mississippi Delta. Others gave their lives quietly in these very pews. We walk every day on bridges they built.
So come Sunday ready to remember. Bring the names of the saints who carried you over: grandparents and teachers, neighbors and freedom fighters. We’ll give thanks for them, and we’ll ask the harder question too: what part of their unfinished work is now in our hands? Join us as we celebrate the great cloud of witnesses, and figure out how to take our own place in it.
May Peace live in your heart,
Rev. Kyle
