Join us for weekday Liturgy
A great way to break up the week is attending our weekday liturgy services. It is open for all to attend, even if you are unable to stay for the entire service. It's a great way to connect with God and experience ancient Christian worship.

Join us on Sundays!
For 2,000 years, followers of Jesus celebrated the Liturgy and we continue the same service that Jesus gave His disciples till today. Our service begins with Vespers on Saturday evening at 6:00pm followed by Sunday service the next day beginning at 9am. All services are held at 2600 Ancient Faith Way.
*The Sunday morning preparatory service (aka Matins), begins at 8:00am.
The Eight
Our post liturgy service, called The Eight, is a more casual atmosphere to renew and reset life. The Eight begins at 11:30am on Sundays with music and a message you can apply to your life.
New Eight
All of us want things to change right now, but so many times it doesn't happen.
Join us for a 5-week series on Sundays at the Eight and in life group discussions on how to manage waiting, especially when 'momentarily' feels like eternity and hopelessness begins to kick in.
Want to catch up on the Eight?
Subscribe to the StMarkATL.church podcast using Apple podcast, Google Play Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Ancient Faith Class
Looking to search the Scripture through the lens of ancient Christianity? Curious of Orthodox theology? Join us on Saturday evenings for Ancient Faith Class. AFC is open for everyone, so come any Saturday to come and see for yourself:)
For October and November, we will be looking at ancient manuscripts that predate the Bible.
Kids @ The Eight
Kids @ The Eight is our children's ministry program. It’s every Sunday at 11:30am from toddlers through high school
COME AS YOU ARE
People who were nothing like Jesus gravitated towards Him, and what is true of Christ should be true of us. Regardless of your background or past, your Savior invites you to come and see.
Transcendent Worship
Liturgical & personal worship points us to something so much bigger than ourselves. Our participation in the sacramental life is the foundation of our ancient faith and allows us to enter into a transformational life in Jesus.
Become the Light
The call to carry the True Light to our world applies to us just as much as it did to the early Christians. And we have been entrusted to continue to bring His Light not only to our lives but to our city of Atlanta.
