Welcome to Saint CharlesKing & Martyr

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 more than 30 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.

Mike responded to God's call to ordained ministry in 2007, graduating from Trinity School for Ministry in 2010. Following his ordination he served as pastor at St. Peter's Church in Cheyenne, Wyoming until 2017 when he and his wife, Stevie, returned to Huntsville to care for her mother. Fr.
