Promised Child Ministry
The purpose of this ministry is to cultivate the God given gifts of neurodiverse children and adults. Our ultimate goal is to use this ministry as a support group and resource as well as an additional ministry that focuses on the needs of neurodiverse individuals.
An individual described as neurodiverse may be one who thinks or acts in a way alternative to normal societal standards. A neurodiverse individual may have a formal diagnostic label such as autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities, and so on. We would like to welcome neurodiverse individuals along with their parents, caretakers, loved ones, etc. to come together and discuss how St. Mark can better serve our neurodiverse brothers and sisters.

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 Chestnut Dr.
*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.
Current Eight Series
Vacation and stuff definitely give us serenity, but most of the time… it’s temporary.
Join us for a new 5-part series on how we can attain peace which is not reliant on the next vacation. This type of ‘serenity’ surpasses all understanding…
In addition to the talks being on Sundays at 11:30am, sing up for a life group to go deeper into the topic. Details at www.StMarkATL.Church/lifegroups.
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.
Weekday Liturgy

Kids @ The Eight

Young Adult Ministries
In addition to the services and ministries offered at the local church level at St. Mark, there are a couple of programs that are offered in collaboration with multiple Orthodox churches. High schoolers are welcomed to attend InsideOut and our college-age students can attend YAM. Both are great programs to connect with others and grow in the Orthodox faith on Friday nights.
High school students and parents can get connected to InsideOut here.
Those 18 years and older can get connected to the Young Adult Ministry (YAM) here.
For more information about either one of these collaborative programs, check them out at YAMatl.life and InsideOutATL.life
Schedule a Confession
Throughout the lent season, let us partake of the Mystery of confession to renew ourselves. Regardless if you have done it before or don't know where to even begin, check out www.StMarkATL.church/confession.
You can schedule with Fr. Nate by contacting him directly at FrNathanael@StMarkATL.church
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.
