St. Mark's Episcopal Church is an historic church in Glendale, California, founded in 1893.[1] The 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.[2][3] In 2009, the church acquired a very high quality organ built in 1929 by the Skinner Organ Company (Opus 774).[4] The church also runs a preschool and pre-Kindergarten program for children between the ages of two and five.[5] In 2013, a book was published which details the history of the parish.[6]
