History of St. Mark's Episcopal Church
In late 1980, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church was established as a “diocesan mission,” with 10 families meeting first in a Methodist church and then in a school cafeteria. Within three years, 13 acres of choice property facing Murfreesboro Pike was purchased, and an existing house was rebuilt into a church building. This proved to be too small, and the original facility was expanded to its present size in 1991. In January 2000, St. Mark’s became a parish in the Diocese of Tennessee.
Membership has grown slowly but steadily from a small nucleus to our present size of approximately 140. Over the years, members of St. Mark’s have primarily been people moving from other denominations who have found that this special place met their spiritual needs. This blend of backgrounds and traditions has produced a welcoming church in which new members can quickly attain leadership status if they wish. We are a diverse congregation and welcome everyone regardless of creed or background.
We invite you to join us. You will find a warm and friendly welcome at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church.
