Notes

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.
