Justice in Action

Justice in Action is a local interfaith Justice Ministry formed and aimed to bring about social justice and reform here in Lincoln and Lancaster County. St. Mark’s also is proud to be the host for the office spaces for Rev. Beth Graverholt, Lead Organizer (below, left) and Oliva Butts, Associate Organizer (below, right), and JIA staff.

Campus Ministry

Campus ministry today has many expressions and we aim to embrace and reflect that reality. Students regularly attend worship. St. Mark’s on the Campus sponsors gathering events as a way to create community around the specific interests and needs of young adults. Our events are always ecumenical in nature — you do not need to be an Episcopalian or belong to St. Mark’s on the Campus to participate. As a member of the University of Nebraska’s Association of Campus Religious Workers (ACReW) organization, our clergy and staff meet regularly with other leaders active in campus ministry. Join us for fun and fellowship in a place of quiet hope and hospitality.

Building Use as Ministry

St. Mark’s on the Campus provides space for a range of activities and events. We host various campus and community groups by providing space for rehearsals, recitals, receptions, meetings, and more. We are also the home of The Pantry, a collaborative downtown source for non-perishable food. Go to our Contact Us page or call our Parish Administrator 402.474.1979 for details about booking space or volunteering to assist with The Pantry.
