St. Mark Evangelical Lutheran Church

About this church

St. Mark Evangelical Lutheran Church in Worth, Illinois, holds two Sunday worship services. The 8:00 a.m. service, called Classic Grace, follows traditional Lutheran liturgy, and the 10:00 a.m. service, called Prayer & Praise, is a contemporary service led by a praise hymn band. Holy Communion is offered every other Sunday, and the congregation describes its practice as open to baptized Christians. The church was founded in 1954 and belongs to the Metro-Chicago Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Services are also recorded on Facebook Live for those who cannot attend in person.

Between the two services, an adult Bible study meets at 9:15 a.m. in the downstairs Fellowship Hall. Sunday School runs from September through May for children roughly ages 3 to 12 and meets in the Luther Room in the church basement, and junior and senior high students gather on alternating Sundays. A one-week Vacation Bible School is usually held on weekday evenings in July or early August. Other activities include a monthly book group, a Pastor's Class for those interested in membership, and volunteer shifts supporting a rotating homeless shelter program. The church is at 11007 S. 76th Avenue; confirm current times with the office at (708) 303-0585.
