Faith Whitmore

Senior Pastor

Faith is celebrating her 25th year in ordained ministry this year and wonders how that could have happened!  She feels blessed to be at St. Mark's, not the least of which is because of this faith community's long tradition of and commitment to justice in the spirit and name of Jesus Christ.

Faith holds degrees from the University of California, Santa Cruz (B.A. in Peace Studies) and from the Pacific School of Religion (Masters of Divinity), which is part of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. 

Active in the Sacramento region for over 20 years now, Faith has been a leader in the community through her service on many boards, such as Habitat for Humanity, Planned Parenthood, the Interfaith Service Bureau, and the American Leadership Forum to name a few. 

Some of the things that bring her the greatest joy are partnering with people in their spiritual journey called life, traveling as far as she can as often as she can, spending time with people of all ages and walks of life, and dancing!
