- Psalms 150:6
Worship @ Saint Mark is a “Farther in Deeper Down” experience. Every aspect of honor and praise is expressed when we gather. So, if you are looking for a place that is expressive, creative, true to the Word of God, loving and spirit-filled, where you can be FREE to experience the greatness of our Lord and Savior, then you have found the place. Worship at Saint Mark is dynamic, relevant, vibrant and NEVER the same!
Whether it’s through music, dance, drama, altar guild or greeting the Saints - Magnification makes the difference at Saint Mark.
We held a place just for you to share your gifts and talents. Join today in one of the many opportunities to magnify the King. To learn more about serving in one of the Magnification Ministries, contact Ronda Kingwood, Director of Magnification
Associate Pastor
Yolanda White-Oliver joined the Saint Mark United Methodist Church staff as the Associate Pastor for Congregational Care in February of 2018. As a bi-vocational Pastor she is also employed as a Full-time Broker for a local medical center.
Pastor Oliver graduated with an MBA from Baker University and is continuing her education at United Theological Seminary in Ohio, in effort to go deeper in her relationship with God and learn new methods of sharing God’s never changing word with the masses. As Pastor of Congregational Care, she has been charged to engage and lead a team of believers to ensure NO MEMBER of Saint Mark ever endures the challenges of life alone.
White-Oliver believes that her mission is to be an instrument of ‘hope and healing’ while living in humble surrender to the truth that her best efforts may come through her but originate from the depths of The Divine Spirit. In the words of John Wesley, she remains prepared to "preach, pray or die" while encouraging those willing to listen, to rely on scripture, tradition, reason and experience on their journey for spiritual maturity.
When not loving on the members of Saint Mark UMC, Yolanda can be found spending time with her husband, Phillip and their eight children: Cameron, Camille, Markell, Aliyah, Amiah, Kenon, Elijah and Ansen, along with seven amazing grandchildren: Gavin, Kamrin, Jaime, Isela, Aaliyah, Adrian and Aniyah.
