 A Rich Heritage ... An Exciting Future
Capital Campaign, Fall 2007
Our Heritage
Saint Mark has a rich heritage of serving midtown Atlanta and the surrounding area. For over 100 years we have been a place of vital worship, wonderful music, prophetic leadership, authentic spiritual growth, and - ministry to the hurting from the corner of Peach tree and Fifth. We have long been a community of open minds, open hearts, and open doors.
Our Vision
As we look to the future, it is important that we do not abandon the present by allowing our ministries to be under-funded because of our need to expand. Our church is trying to strike a delicate balance between providing new tools of ministry while also fully funding our current ministries.
| Our vision builds on our great heritage. Music and worship have long been central to Saint Mark's identity. Our wonderful organ needs critical work if it is to continue to provide the music we love. Our sanctuary is in need of repainting. Expanding our campus allows us to support all of our ministries with safe, secure, accessible parking and lays the groundwork for future expansion and modernization of our facilities which will be needed as our ministries grow. Increasing our operating budget allows us to expand our regular ministries such as those with children and youth, our drama and music ministries, our outreach with the needy, and our efforts to reach newcomers to the midtown area. |

12 Hour Prayer Vigil
We invite you to join us on Saturday, October 27, a special day set aside to join together as a community to pray for each other, our city, our nation and our world. The prayer vigil is an event being organized in conjunction with the Capital Campaign to remind us that the campaign is much more than a fundraising drive. We are asking everyone to commit one hour of their time on October 27, between 7 am and 7 pm. We will gather in the chapel where there will be prayer guides and prayer cards to assist in our time of prayer. The labyrinth will also be set up for those who wish to walk it. Click here if you would like to email your prayer request to be included in the Prayer Vigil. You do not need to include your name if you prefer.
