Welcome to
St Mark the Evangelist

“God is light; In him there is no darkness...”
[1 John 1:5]
Welcome to the church of St Mark the Evangelist, situated in Milton Ward,
close to The Forum, South Essex College/Southend University Centre, and University of Essex, Southend Campus.
Known as St Mark's Church in Southend, St Mark's is Liberal-Catholic in tradition and inclusive in welcome. We are part of Inclusive Church.
We are happy to host live music events featuring local bands.
Every Sunday: Family Friendly Worship with Holy Communion at 11:30
Every Monday in term times: Quiet, Contemplative Service, with Mass at 1pm
Inclusive Church Statement
“We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.
We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.
We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.”
Help Those In Need
“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will repay him for his deed.”
(Proverbs 19:17)
St Mark's is proud to have been able to host and support this wonderful local charity. We have a Care Bank purple box in church for any donations of un-used toiletries - if you wish to pop something in when we are open.
