Serving St. Mark's

Our Pastor

The Rev. Joseph A. Donnella became pastor of St. Mark's in September 2017. His responsibilities include leading worship, preaching, teaching, visitation, counseling, and shepherding St. Mark's Lutheran Church. 
​
Our Deacons
St. Mark's is blessed to have several deacons called to volunteer their service and ministry. Members of The Order of St. Stephen, Deacon (OSSD) assist the pastor and congregation council. They are:

Connie Lisch first arrived at St. Mark's in 1988 and has served as a deacon since 1995. Connie regularly assists on the altar, sings in the choir, and offers the Deacon's Mass at Keswick Multi-Care Center. 

Sue Romanic came to St. Mark's in 1992 and has served as a deacon since 1995. Sue has taught children's Sunday School, assisted with a children's choir, visited hospitalized members, and married one couple. She uses her background in education and human development, along with her knowledge of the Bible, to work with people who hoard.

Our Lay Leadership

Jim Harp has served St. Mark's as cantor (organist and choir director) since 1987. He’s well-known in the Baltimore area as a pianist, organist, singer, composer, lecturer, writer and conductor. 

Stephen Kohler, administrator of St. Mark's since January 1988, maintains the parish office, schedules events, prepares service bulletins and the monthly newsletter, and serves as sacristan. As sacristan, he ensures everything used during liturgy is properly prepared and is often responsible for the glorious flower arrangements. Email: admin@stmarksbaltimore.org
