- St. Mark’s Lutheran Church (1913-2018) in Kitchener, Ontario was a member of the Eastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada. In 2018, St. Mark’s merged with Reformation Lutheran Church of Kitchener and St. John’s Lutheran Church of Waterloo to form Trillium Lutheran Church.
The congregation was organized on February 2, 1913 as First English Evangelical Lutheran Church, filling the need for English language Lutheran services in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, where German language services were prevalent. Just two months later, the congregation purchased the former St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church on Queen Street in Kitchener, Ontario.
The 1930s was a time of growth and change for the congregation. In 1935 a new property, located at 825 King Street West, was purchased and construction of a new church building began in 1938. On July 31, 1938 the congregation voted to change the name of the Church from Frist English Evangelical Lutheran Church to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church. Dedication of the new St. Mark’s Lutheran Church took place on February 5, 1939. - Date of Original
