The church dates to 1912, when an Episcopal priest in Fitzgerald began holding services in Moultrie. Services were held at a Presbyterian church and in private residences. In 1919, land was purchased to construct a building; ground was broken in 1922 and the church was dedicated in 1923.[2]
In July 2012, the rector, Fr. Will McQueen, the vestry and the congregation left the historic church building and founded St. Mark's Anglican Church. They met temporarily in the chapel of Trinity Baptist Church.[1] In late 2013, the congregation re-purchased the building from the Diocese of Georgia.[3]
St. Mark's follows the Anglo-Catholic tradition of worship. It uses the 2019 Book of Common Prayer (ACNA) and 1940 Hymnal for all services.[4]
