Saint Mark's Episcopal Church

About this church

Saint Mark's Episcopal Church celebrates a traditional Rite I or Rite II service at 9 a.m. Sunday in its historic church at 18313 Lappans Road in Boonsboro, with pews, kneelers, and traditional music. The service also streams on Facebook. A smaller healing service with Eucharist meets at 10:30 Monday in the Boyd Cook Conference Room on the lower level of the Fellowship Center, giving people a quieter midweek setting for prayer and Communion.

Founded in 1849 by students and faculty of nearby Saint James School, Saint Mark's belongs to the worldwide Anglican Communion and continues to emphasize teaching, evangelism, and youth. Its history records worship in a stone schoolhouse, Civil War-era care for wounded people, the first ringing of its bell in 1878, and installation of a pipe organ in 1927. A 1955 parish house supports fellowship and outreach, while the accessible 2011 Fellowship Center hosts worship, education, meetings, conferences, and retreats. Ministry options include the Daughters of the King, whose members train, pray daily, and serve through projects, along with other fellowship and community groups. First-time guests can choose the historic Sunday liturgy in person or online and should use the Fellowship Center's lower-level directions for Monday healing worship.
