St Mark's Church A Century Of Growth In Baytown
St Mark's grew from 36 founders meeting in a private home in 1926 to serve Baytown. The church moved from Minnesota Street to Louisiana Street, then to Oklahoma Street with war bonds and loans funding a larger sanctuary by 1956. Attendance declined since the late 1970s, prompting options to relocate renovate or merge by the mid 1990s.
