Welcoming Statement
 On March 13, 2011, a Saint Mark Church Conference voted overwhelmingly to affiliate with Reconciling Ministries Network.
As a United Methodist Church we are proud to be a congregation with open hearts, open minds, and open doors. We strive to be a congregation that embodies God’s absolute love and hospitality, proclaiming Jesus as our savior and as our model of the ultimate embodiment of God’s love. We believe that all persons are of sacred worth and dignity as part of God’s good creation. Saint Mark United Methodist Church welcomes all persons into the full life and ministry of our congregation, regardless of race, culture, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or socioeconomic status, physical or mental ability, or faith history.

Come and join us!

Prayer Shawl Ministry

If you knit, crochet, or are involved in some other craft that could be used to support those who are ill or shut in, please join us! All are welcome.

Best in Show - Saint Mark
 For the second year in a row, Saint Mark has been selected as the Georgia Voice’s Best House of Worship! Many thanks to everyone who took the time to vote!
Saint Mark United Methodist Church was one of the first mainstream Atlanta congregations to welcome LGBT people, and it is our readers’ favorite for Best House of Worship for the second consecutive year. New Covenant Church of Atlanta, led by Apostle Randy Layton-Morgan and Senior Pastor Johnny Layton-Morgan, placed second and Congregation Bet Haverim, the LGBT-founded Reconstructionist synagogue, placed third. |
 Fenuxe loves to celebrate the gay community here in Atlanta and highlight the positive side to how we live, work and play. So, this year we wanted to pay tribute to the gay-owned and gay-friendly businesses that are the bedrock of our community.
Best House of Worship/ Spiritual Center Saint Mark UMC There are a lot of people out there who think that gays and God don’t get along. Luckily for the Atlanta gays who like to take in a service there are plenty of places to worship that welcome members of the LGBT community with open arms. While all our nominees were worthy of a win the Fenuxe readers have anointed Saint Mark UMC as the best place to worship in the Big A. |
