Saint Mark has stood on this corner for 133 years and we are not finished.
more about Saint MarkFounded by freed men and women in 1891, Saint Mark has baptized five generations of West End families, buried its saints with honor, fed its neighbors through two pandemics and one depression, and sung every Sunday without fail. We hold to the Word, the sacraments, and the discipline of our church, and we hold the door open for anyone who has not yet found a home.
a word from the pastor
If you are reading this, you may be looking for a church. Let me tell you what you will find at Saint Mark: an old building and a living faith. We sing the hymns our grandmothers sang and we preach the Word as plainly as we can. We will not rush you. We will not ignore you. Come as you are, and come early. The eleven o'clock fills.
The Rev. Dr. Harold T. WinslowSenior Pastor
