Who we are
St. Mark's is located in the East end of London, and enjoys a comfortable family atmosphere.
The building itself, constructed in 1965 is the third physical location of the parish. St. Mark's began in 1908 as a storefront mission of an Anglican parish. The parish was housed in two further structures, moving progressively eastward as the city expanded in the 1930s. During the 1950s the size of the congregation was sufficient to warrant the building of the present church, but at that same period two additional Anglican churches were built in the same part of the city. These congregations have since sold their buildings and relocated in a new structure at the extreme eastern edge of London (2002) leaving St. Mark's as a small but active parish in an area the residents still refer to as the ‘east-end’.
St. Mark's continues to function with considerable vitality. The parish list indicates a membership of 60 families, yet average Sunday attendance frequently numbers in excess of 75 persons. All the programs associated with Anglican parish life function well at St. Mark's: Sunday School and Nursery, Bible Studies and Alpha sessions in parish homes, facilities for AA meetings, Choir and Servers, education classes and social events all designed to bring families and the community together.
The parish provides for a part-time priest and depends upon a very dedicated team of lay leaders. Over recent years the parish has developed a close relationship with the members of the Chippewa and Munsee First Nations whose reserve is located just a few miles south-west of London. Members of St. Mark's frequently share activities with the congregation at St. Andrew’s, Chippewa-Munsee.
The building itself is situated on a spacious lot with numerous pine trees and ample parking. It is a tall A-frame structure with a very high roof and with interior walls and furnishings fashioned from Canadian maple. It provides a beautiful warm worship-space which is utilized to the full with a variety of services: two Sunday Eucharist's (informal and traditional) with B.A.S., one Eucharist a month with B.C.P. and music supported by CDs, organ, keyboard, piano and guitar. The beauty of the interior and the variety of worship are central features of parish life.
