St Mark's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Richmond celebrates Holy Eucharist Rite II Sundays at 10:30 a.m., both in person and live on Zoom. Nursery care runs from 10:20 until noon, and Children’s Worship is offered September through June; children return for Communion, which is open to everyone present. Visitors may sit anywhere, use free parking behind the church, and expect Scripture, a psalm, sermon, creed, prayers, the peace, and the Eucharist, followed by coffee and hospitality. Weekday online prayer includes Morning Prayer at 8:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and brief Compline at 8:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.

Outreach is central to the parish’s progressive Episcopal identity. A food pantry and light breakfast serve neighbors from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. on the second and fourth Saturdays. Meal teams support CARITAS residential programs, volunteers accompany a long-running Wednesday Narcotics Anonymous group, and the church assists VCU students facing food insecurity through the PACE Center. Youth in grades six through twelve meet on second Sundays at 12:15 to reflect, plan service, and build fellowship. St. Mark’s is at 520 North Arthur Ashe Boulevard and combines traditional sacramental worship with explicit inclusion, justice, recovery support, and food ministry.
