St. Mark's Episcopal Church of Navajoland

About this church

St. Mark's Episcopal Church of Navajoland in Coalmine, New Mexico, gathers for Sunday morning worship with Holy Communion at 8 a.m. The church sits in a community nestled in the curve of the mountains, roughly an 8-mile drive from Good Shepherd Mission in Fort Defiance, Arizona. The mission, which shares the church's phone number and presents St. Mark's on its website, describes itself as a historic church in the Episcopal tradition serving the Navajo Nation and all who visit.

The congregation is described as a committed core of members who love their church. Its calendar includes cakewalks and a busy vacation Bible school. The church also keeps a Facebook page under the name St. Marks Church Navajoland, which is a good place to look for news. Visitors who want a later service can attend Sunday Holy Communion at Good Shepherd Mission, listed at 10 a.m. in Fort Defiance. The mission also has gardens, the Hummingbird Cafe, and retreat lodging. No street address for the Coalmine church is posted on the site, so first-time visitors should call the mission office at (928) 729-2322 for directions and to confirm current service times before making the drive.
