Rev. Nic Leither Pastor
Pastor Nic started at St. Mark's in June 2020. He first felt pulled into ministry in the Lutheran Church after graduating from college in Northwest Iowa. Because of his interests in social justice and interfaith dialogue, he enrolled in seminary at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver and graduated from there in 2019.
He is married to Tamara Smith and they have a little dog named Burley. He enjoys baking, cooking, fishing, tracking down new music, and gardening.
He hopes you find that St. Marks is as welcoming of a place as it has been to him, and invites you to write him an email to get a cup of coffee sometime soon.

Betty Falk, Choir Director
Betty has been a part of St. Mark's most of her life, and for the last several years she has served as the Director of our Chancel Choir. Music is her passion, and that comes through in the music ministry she leads at St. Mark's. Beyond choir direction, Betty coordinates all our special music for those times of the year when the choir is not singing for worship. She encourages all members of our faith community to share their musical gifts however they can.
Rose Kvern, Organist & Music Minister
Rose has served St. Mark's as organist for many years, and her tremendous gifts enhance and support our worship every week. She also accompanies the St. Mark's Chancel Choir and plays for our weddings, funerals, and other occasional services. Her extensive knowledge of organ and hymnody is truly a gift to our community.
