Leader Bio:
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. Â

St Charles King & Martyr Anglican Church History
The Anglican Province of Christ the King is a body of apostolic churches celebrating historic Christianity in the Anglican tradition. Our beliefs are based on the Bible and the ancient creeds of the Church. We uphold family values and New Testament morality, and use the 1928 Book of Common Prayer for our liturgies. We worship God with all our hearts, our souls, our minds, and our bodies, in the beauty and ordered dignity of Christ-centered service.
Standing at the entrance to the nave, our eyes are drawn to the altar and the tabernacle, for here the Real Presence of Christ is reserved, signified by a lit candle or sanctuary lamp. Just as God humbled himself to enter our world as a helpless infant, He re-enters today as consecrated bread and wine become His body and blood in the Eucharist.
Our altar recalls the first Christian altars when, in the early years of persecution, Christians worshiped in dark catacombs under the city of Rome. On stone slabs over martyrs' tombs, they celebrated the Eucharist, candles providing the only light. Our candles today remind us of that time, and that the light of Christ could not and will not be extinguished by the darkness.
Many churches have holy water fonts. In making the Sign of the Cross with water from the font we are reminded of our baptism into Christ.
As we walk down the central aisle we recall our journey through life, from the baptismal font (our beginnings) to the tabernacle (our union with Christ).
When entering the pew, we genuflect in the aisle before the Blessed Sacrament, then kneel and offer thanksgiving for the people of the parish, the clergy, and the freedom to worship. This is a time of silent preparation before Mass.
The congregation participates in the Divine Liturgy by following the service in the Book of Common Prayer found in the pews and referring to the Sunday bulletin for the proper lessons for the day. The poetic language of our liturgy dates to the sixteenth century, but the Eucharist itself, instituted by Christ, follows the form of even earlier services. Many prayers and Psalms go back thousands of years.
We make a genuflection when we hear the words, "And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost & and was made man" in the Creed, in honor of the Incarnation of Our Lord. We bow our heads when we hear the name of Jesus. We bow in veneration to the cross in procession. We kneel at certain times, incorporating our bodies in the worship of God. Usually we stand to sing, to say the Creed, and to listen to the Gospel reading. We sit during other Scripture readings, the sermon, and the choir anthems. We kneel to pray, showing our humility and gratitude before God.
At the end of the recessional or last hymn we kneel to thank God for his many gifts. At the end of the service, as we leave our pew, we genuflect before the Reserved Sacrament in the tabernacle.
Many churches have a chapel or altar dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary where candles may be lit in prayer for her intercession. We do not worship Mary, but ask for her prayers. She is the Theotokos, the God-bearer.
