La Iglesia Episcopal San Marcos began offering Christian worship services to the English speaking community of Quetzaltenango in August 2009. Known as Saint Mark's Episcopal Church, we are the only Church in Xela that offers services in English. We have 34 members, with a Sunday attendance which ranges between 12 and 28 people.
"We have come together in the presence of Almighty God our Heavenly Father, to set forth his praise, to hear his holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others, those things that are necessary for our life and our salvation." - The Book of Common Prayer -
WE ARE CHRISTIANS from a wide variety of faith communities and experiences. We join together on Sunday mornings to worship our Lord Jesus Christ through a blend of contemporary music and the ancient liturgy of Morning Prayer found in the Book of Common Prayer. We are an English speaking congregation of expatriates, students, missionaries, volunteers, students, Guatemalans, and visitors from nations around the world.
WE ARE LOCATED at 6a Calle 16-20, Zona 3, Quetzaltenango (Xela), Guatemala. St. Mark's is in Zone 3 at the corner of 6th Street and 16th Avenue. You can find us from MacDonald's in Zone 3 (on the corner of 4th Street and 17th Avenue) by going north on 17th Avenue for two blocks, then turn right on 6th Street. Saint Mark's is located at the end of the block on your left.
WE GATHER FOR WORSHIP at 9:00 am on Sunday Mornings. Coffee and refreshments are served at 10:00 am. during our fellowship hour.
