In 1909, the work of the Mary Werlein Mission moved to Esplanade Ave. and was called St. Mark's Hall.  Out of this project, a "Church of Nations" emerged and was called St. Mark’s Methodist Church. 

The property on N. Rampart was purchased in 1916.  The church and community center initially shared the facilities. The North Rampart Community Center continues to serve the community as a separate 501c3 and Pastor Anita Dinwiddie currently serves on its board of directors.

Meanwhile, the ministry of St. Mark's United Methodist Church at N. Rampart St continues  to be enabled by the Women’s Division of the United Methodist Global Ministries -- which retains ownership of the church building, but generously provides that space for the use of the St. Mark's community.
