St. Mark's Episcopal Church is a parish of the Episcopal Church in Glendale, California, founded in 1893.^[1] Records indicate that the first services occurred in August 1888, predating its official founding by five years.^[2]

The historic church is located at 1020 North Brand Boulevard in the center of Glendale. The rector is the Very Reverend Canon Mark A. Weitzel. This church has been a popular venue for many concerts and stage productions.^[3]^[4]

In 2009, the church acquired, with help from the Ahmanson Foundation,^[5] a very high quality pipe organ built in 1929 by Ernest M. Skinner (Opus 774).^[6] The church also runs a preschool and pre-Kindergarten program for children between the ages of two and five.^[7] In 2013, a book was published which details the history of the parish.^[8] Thomas Bushnell, BSG, notable founder of the GNU Hurd, is a member of St. Mark's.^[9]
