St. Mark's Episcopal Church is a parish of the Episcopal Church in Hope, Arkansas, in the Diocese of Arkansas. The congregation was founded in the late 1870s, and celebrated its first service on April 2, 1879. It was established as a parish on September 7, 1880.[2]

It is noted for its historic parish church at 3rd and Elm Streets. The simple wood-frame Gothic Revival church was built in 1904-5, though it was not until March 28, 1909 when it was consecrated, by Bishop William Montgomery Brown. It has a modified T shape, with a gabled vestibule area on the north facade. Its stained glass windows are believed to have been designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany.[3] The pipe organ was installed in 1915.[2] The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
