St. Mark's Episcopal Church

St. Mark's Episcopal Church was founded in 1823 in Lewistown, PA - "The Crossroads of the Commonwealth". At the confluence of historical transportation routes dating back to Native American trading routes, Lewistown is the county seat of Miflin County. The borough is the principal economic hub of the area. St. Mark's Church is situated just off Market Square, the center of Lewistown near other historic sites including the county courthouse, St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, and the confluence of Kish Creek and the Juniata River. 

The first Jubilee Center for Ministry in The Episcopal Church was founded at St. Mark's Church in 1983.

The parish exhibits a broad church style of worship. Its circa 1929 Cassavant pipe organ was recently restored and updated. The church building houses several excellent examples of American stained glass including works by Tiffany Studios and Lamb Studios. The windows are currently undergoing maintenance and restoration.

The current church building dates from 1898 and is the second building on the site. The church can seat approximately 175 people comfortably.

The orgiginal church was built in 1824 and was replaced by the current building having proved too small for the growing parish.

The current parish hall was built as a worship space for the parish during the reconstruction and is referred to in historcial documents as "The Chapel". It is a fully functional hall with a stage and adjoining kitchen facility with table seating for approximately 120 persons. The undercroft seats approcimately 75 people and is currently used as a martial arts studio for lessons offered by an expert parishioner.   

The original rectory has been repurposed to house the Jubilee Ministry Center, a nursery, School rooms, a parish library/conference room and administrative offices.
