St Marks was founded on the principle of autonomy and during his first year of ministry, the conversion of a derelict and unused building into a place of worship illustrates that the Lord is able to transform an empty soul and convert it into a product of value and worth. The Lord used Bruce's tireless work-ethic and provided the direction whereby our Church attendance grew to a point that the old building was no longer suitable. This meant that the St Marks team needed to consider securing a suitable site and construct a larger Church building to serve our community.
