About Us | St. Mark Evangelical Lutheran Church

Our mission is: St. Mark Cares: welcome, worship, witness

St. Mark has been present in the West End of Davenport since 1922. From our earliest days, we have supported, shaped and been an integral part of our community; we continue that legacy today and into the future. We pray that the presence of Christ's Church brings comfort and peace to the community in which we live and serve. St. Mark is known for the large north facing window which depicts Christ, the Good Shepherd, and we light that window each night, so that all may know of Christ's love.

There are multiple opportunities to become active in worship, fellowship, and service. Come and join us! We look forward to journeying with you!

Children Play Area — The “Pray Ground” The children’s area is known as the “Pray Ground.” It’s a cozy spot for little ones to color, look at books, or relax during worship services.
