History

In 1962, a small group of families began to meet with a vision to raise up a church that would be devoted to godly teaching, faithful service, and healthy community. With the support of another local church, St. Mark acquired land in 1967 to build its first building. This was home to the members of St. Mark for nearly 35 years until they had grown well beyond capacity. With much prayer and faith, land was purchased and a new church building was constructed in 2003. We are thankful for the vision and faithfulness of the early founders of St. Mark Missionary Church.
