Located in the beautiful hill country near San Antonio, St. Mark is in the rapidly growing city of Boerne. We extend a welcoming atmosphere to visitors and members in both contemporary and traditional worship services. We have a strong Christian education program, an on-campus Early Learning Center, an uplifting and diverse music program, an active mission program, and a compassionate pastoral care program. Please refer to our MIF # 03449.AE0 for additional information and self-referral details on the Church Leadership Connection.
St. Mark is called in many ways to reach out to the community and beyond. It has demonstrated in the past, and continues to place for the future, a high priority on the outreach aspects of its ministries. Locally, support has been provided to St. Mark’s Early Learning Center, Boerne’s only nationally accredited preschool, and to Boerne’s bread ministry, family services and pregnancy center. Regionally, St. Mark has supported the Presbyterian Children’s Home, the Presbyterian Pan American School, Schreiner University and Austin Theological Seminary. St. Mark gives generously to the four special offerings of the PC(USA) and has been recognized for its level of commitment to these offerings.
With respect to addressing our own constituency, St Mark has an active and committed ten-member Diaconal ministry team which strives to serve God by serving others. That service is exemplified by our prayer ministry, visitation ministry, meal deliveries and transportation assistance for members in need.
St. Mark strives to allocate 10% of its total budget to outreach ministries. It would be absolutely impossible to effectively support all of the above-mentioned projects with this funding alone. However, members of St. Mark continue to be extremely generous with not only funding for special outreach opportunities, but also with the gift of their time.
As part of the body of Reformed churches, we glorify God by offering two worship opportunities (contemporary and traditional), in which we affirm our faith in the one Triune God. With the many gifts the Holy Spirit has given to our diverse community of believers at St. Mark, we endeavor to carry the Word into the community, exhibiting the love of Jesus Christ in our daily life. We are a servant church, dedicated to Bible-based Christian education, community outreach and support of Presbyterian missions and other missions locally and throughout the world. We believe it is important that we prayerfully foster a caring and dynamic community of believers, sharing with all people the Good News of the love of God, of repentance, and of faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior.
To fulfill our mission and vision goals, the congregation desires to partner with the new pastor to:
Achieve stability with a new Pastor, Head of Staff who provides vision, leadership and relatability
Increase membership obtaining advantages of a medium-sized vibrant church
Attract younger families with children and youth
Reach out beyond the church walls to do more in the Boerne community
Help church members grow in spiritual maturity and discipleship
To quote a church banner: “Rekindle the Passion!”
