Church Overview

St. Mark's Pastoral Charge stretches throughout the west side of Saint John with some of our members traveling from outside the city to attend weekly services and events. We have about three hundred households within our charge representing approximately 800 members.

St. Mark's physical structure is comprised of the manse and the church building itself. The manse is a three-bedroom bungalow located on Anderson Drive, a short distance away from the church property. The church is a brick and concrete structure consisting of two levels and is locatd on Dexter Drive. The main floor is where the Sanctuary, Minister's Office, Fellowship Hall, Boardroom, Parlor, Kitchen, Choir Room and primary Sunday School rooms are located. The stairs lead down to a Recration Room, Sunday School rooms, a mini-kitchen, and Boiler and Furnace rooms.
