History of St. Mark’s

St. Mark’s began as First English Lutheran Church in 1913.  We were the first english-speaking Lutheran congregation in the area, thus the name.  Here is a poster listing the original 85 Charter Members, and another poster providing information about a special 99th Anniversary Service happening on February 5, 2012 at St. Mark’s.

It was in 1939, when the faith community moved to its current location on King Street, that it changed its name to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church.  Read here for more information on the history of St. Mark’s.  This article was recently included in the 2011 winter edition of the Cherry Park Neighbourhood Association’s newsletter.

The Eastern Synod is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. Here is information on a fun 5 Photo Challenge issued to all congregations across the Eastern Synod.
