We would love to have you join us for worship and fellowship. At first glance, St. Mark’s is a quaint little church that happens to be located in downtown Hope, Arkansas. The church was built in 1904 and is much the same today as it was when it was first built. But St. Mark’s is not only about the sticks and stones, it is about the people that are there, past and present. Though we are small, we a
re a progressive, open-minded Episcopal congregation. We strive to seek Christ in every person around us, and to respect the dignity of every human being. Episcopalians base their beliefs on the Bible, reason, and our traditions. We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and that it contains all things necessary for our salvation. We also believe that God has given us the gift of reason in order to read and understand those scriptures and apply them to our modern lives. Episcopalians do not turn off their brains when they come to church. Finally, our tradition, as inherited from our Anglican roots, helps shape our identity. It can be seen in our Prayer Book, in our corporate worship style, and in our theology. At St. Mark’s, all people are welcome to attend Sunday services and all are invited to partake in the Eucharist. We are a place where you can connect with God. If you have questions about St. Mark’s, please contact us; we would love to hear from you.
