At Saint Mark AME Church East Campus, we are committed to Building Families for Christ. We are a church family rooted in powerful, biblically grounded worship and united by a heart for our East Orlando community.
The Reverend Jeff Beason is the fifth child, born to the late Florine Hope and James Alaska Beason, and is affectionately known by the family as, “Florine’s baby boy”. Pastor Beason is a proud native of Miami, where he was reared in the church by a loving “village” of family and church family at the Church of God of Prophecy.
As a youth, he watched his grandfather serve in ministry, the late Elder Shadrach Lewis, who was a faithful servant in the church and who planted multiple churches in Miami for the Church of God of Prophecy (CGP) denomination.
After relocating to Orlando, Florida, Pastor Beason joined St. Mark African Methodist Episcopal Church, under the leadership of Bishop Samuel L. Green. Under this leadership Pastor Beason began working in ministry.
We believe every member has unique gifts and a purpose within the body of Christ. When you join a ministry, you’re not just filling a role; you’re helping strengthen the church, support our community, and create space for others to experience God’s love. Ministry involvement deepens your spiritual growth, builds meaningful relationships, and allows you to be part of something greater than yourself.
There’s a place for everyone to serve. We invite you to discover where your passion and purpose meet and join us in building families for Christ.
