St. Mark's Episcopal Church in East Longmeadow, MA is an Episcopal Congregation in the Diocese of Western Massachusetts. It was founded by community members in 1962 and began worship at the East Longmeadow Grange Hall. The Diocese then purchased property at 1 Porter Rd where the church was built and where subsequent additions have been added.

St. Mark's worship space was renovated in 2002. At that time all pews were removed and the high altar was removed. It is now an entirely flexible worship space which is arranged in new designs based on the Liturgical Year. The Altar was hand made by a founding member. The Cross which hangs in the Nave was crafted out of teakwood life preserver boxes discovered on the shores of Cape Cod and crafted by parishioners

It is a thriving congregation with many forms of outreach, adult and youth programing, children's education, and worship opportunities. Its motto is, "Christ Welcomed All, We Welcome You".
