Capital Campaign

Collectively, we are the stewards of a unique 129-year-old landmark that supports our congregational mission and serves as a community resource for a diverse range of members and community organizations. To build on past accomplishments, address current needs and ensure our much-loved church home will continue to serve future generations, St. Mark’s has worked with building assessment experts to compile the following list of improvements:

Exterior Improvements

• Repair ground floor level plaster parge coating and wood trim

• Repoint mortar joints and seal masonry surfaces at upper brick walls and towers

• Repaint wood and metal trim

• Replace missing slate roof tiles

• Refurbish window frames at all floor levels

• Install exterior glazing to protect stained-glass windows from weather and vandalism

• Erect scaffolding around the building for the exterior repairs listed above

• Replace chain link fence at property lines with new attractive wrought iron fence

• Improve building, walkway and step lighting at the front of the church

Interior Improvements

• Replace Heritage Hall carpeting

• Refinish wood kitchen cabinets

• Install wayfinding, room identification and other signage throughout the building

• Ventilate boiler room and replace the boiler and temperature control system

The church facility is our “mission outpost.” When we take care of the building, we affirm our commitment to be a place of mission in the heart of the city. It is our turn to leave a legacy that will last for generations to come.
