St Charles is a place of prayer, peace, worship and joy to all who join us. Our community is richly diverse, with people of different ages and backgrounds. Our worship service is structured on early church liturgy including hymns with choir and organ accompaniment, a soul-gripping homily, and holy communion. Join us for coffee hour downstairs after the service. Our doors are open to everyone seeking to welcome God into their hearts.
Our beliefs are based on the Bible and the time-honored creeds of the Church. We uphold family values and New Testament morality. We use the 1928 Book of Common Prayer as a basis for our worship service.
With Jesus Christ and His sacrament of Holy Communion at our core, we worship God and preach the Gospel in the beauty and ordered dignity of Christ-centered service. We are a sacramental church, believing that God works through matter in the waters of Holy Baptism, and in the bread and wine of the Holy Eucharist. He works through each of us as His Body, the Church.

Fr Mark Brown
Rector
Father Mark Brown was born in Atmore, Alabama to a devout Baptist family (his grandfather was a Baptist minister for over 50 years). After graduating from the University of South Alabama, he was commissioned an officer in the United States Marine Corps and served 10 years in the infantry.
After many years in the corporate world, he accepted a call to serve in a Baptist church. While in seminary, he was introduced to the early church and after spending many years in study and prayer, he converted to the Anglican church. Father Mark was ordained to the priesthood in 2009 after finishing additional study and education at Spring Hill College.
Since 2009, Fr Mark has served several parishes in the Florida panhandle and southern Alabama. He also spent many years as a hospice chaplain and as a chaplain for various Anglican and Roman Catholic charities. Fr Mark was called to St. Charles in 2021 and installed as the Rector (priest) June 6, 2021 by Archbishop John Upham. Fr Mark is excited to serve St Charles and Huntsville in the proclaiming of Jesus Christ in Word and Sacrament.
Fr Mark has been married to wife Kelly for 32 years. They have 5 children: Brianna, Joshua, Marissa, Kayla Marie, and Caleb. Besides an intense interest in all things Anglican and Catholic, Fr Mark loves learning history and spending time with family enjoying the incredible world our Lord God has created for us.
