Eastern Cape, PORT ELIZABETH / GQEBERHA, Framesby, St Marks Congregational Church, Garden of Remembrance (4)

Cemetery information:- St Marks Church founded in 1985 in Port Elizabeth is an autonomous congregational church. The authority of the Bible in doctrine and Christian discipline is a principle embraced by St Marks. The church campus is like an island with the busy Old Cape Road to the north and the Great West Way to the south. The church leadership is strongly opposed to the modern experience movement sweeping Christendom and subscribe to the traditional values and teachings of dispensational theology. Church services are orderly and structured graced with practical sermons promoting the ideals of Christian living. St Marks is a community focused fellowship with a vision to reach people from diverse backgrounds. A care ministry spearheaded by the church renders assistance to the poor and aged. The St Marks private school provides quality education from Grade R to Matric from 5 years to 18 years old. In 2007 St Marks Chapel was constructed with a gothic or Scottish theme of architecture and ambiance that reflects the old world. The tiny bell tower and a century old organ adds to the elegance of the chapel which is set in a corner of the Garden of Remembrance that bears the names of the founder members and in memory of loved ones who have been promoted to higher service. St Marks is also actively involved in youth work and church missions in the township of the city. The church is a beacon of hope to all who visit. - Carol Beneke Album complete. eGGSA captions by: Carol Beneke, Esme van der Westhuizen, Alta Griffiths & Wilna Eygelaar.
