St. Mark's Methodist Church is situated on the junction of Shipcote Terrace and Durham Road — the main road that leads to Gateshead and onwards to Newcastle.
The imposing church buildings are home to many local groups who use the building as well as containing the offices of the Newcastle upon Tyne Methodist District.
In addition to all the various church activities which take place here, the premises are a popular venue for concerts by local and visiting choirs.
