  2. I happened onto your televised service by accident one Sunday morning. Mark, you are the reason I still watch every Sunday. You are the reason I am reconnecting with God. Thank you for your teachings, but mostly, thank you for just talking to me every Sunday through the tv. Congratulations on your anniversary!! God bless!

  4. I was so very distant from God before I came to Newspring. I cannot imagine where I would be without Him in my life now. Thank you both for your dedication and service to the Lord. The traditional churches could not reach me, but thank God that yours could.

  10. My husband and I began to attend NewSpring in 2019. I was going through the worst anxiety and depression of my life. The first Sunday we attended Mark-you mentioned your anxiety struggles. It felt like NewSpring was the place we needed to be. Since then we’ve had two kids and they’re in the children’s ministry. We are so thankful for NewSpring. Thank you for always preaching the gospel. Thank you for being transparent. Thank you for your servant hearts.

  11. I would like to thank Pastor Mark for his encouraging words and wisdom to help me along this life journey. It amazed me with church family so big; Pastor Mark called me by my name. I felt special he remembered my name. I have not meet Mary Alice personally by I love her spirit and how she teaches Book by Book each month. Pastor Mark and Mary Alice are best Pastor and Wife team anyone would love.

  13. Mark and Mary Alice, i am so thankful for your guidance, incredible vision, and devotion to God.

    You have sacrificed and served with admirable dedication to God, your family, and your church community.

  15. Mark and Mary Alice, I am so very grateful for your leadership in my life. Since 2004 when I came to Messiah after a terrible divorce, I have been very blessed by your sermons and example. Thank you for giving my children a safe place to grow up, for marrying Randy and I in 2012 and for giving us a place we are proud to call our church and invite our friends to. My nephew-in-law who attended NewSpring with my niece Chelsey for a couple of years when they lived in Wichita, still says NewSpring is the best church he has ever attended. God bless you greatly in all the years to come! Respectfully, Pam Browning

  16. I’m a grandmother that used to sit in the back of the church… But because of your dedication to the Lord…. I’m a volunteer and sit with 12 other people that love the Lord Jesus Christ and our precious father God.
    My growth in Christ is only because you Mary Alice are the secret ingredient for Mark Hoover success in sharing the Lord with us. No I know it’s only because the Holy Spirit has blessed you two beyond measure 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you and keep up the great work!!!

  17. Mark & Mary Alice,
    My wife and I started attending NewSpring in 2011. We have been blessed and have gone through some tough times. When I am really struggling and want to give up, I know attending a service at NewSpring will replenish the hope that is slipping away. Thank you to both of you for being a servant and being obedient to God!

    Mark

  18. Thank you so much for your positive impact on our marriage. The messages you have given truly helped our marriage thrive. Thank you!

  19. Mark & Mary Alice,

    You are such a blessing from God directly to the Moore Family. Since the day we walked into NewSpring in 2009, the Church has been a focal point in our walk closer to Christ. We attribute this directly to a Ministry headed by your vision guided by Gods direction. Our family would not be as strong or as Christ centered without your efforts and guidance. Thank you so much for your 40 years of service to NewSpring! May God continue the great work begun here through all of us!

    Humbly and Thankfully in Christ,

    Stacy, Jamie Sue, & Landry Moore

  22. I am among the many believers here that could go ON and ON about the many blessings and mysterious works of God and wanted to just say THANK YOU for your faithfulness to this church. It has been impactful to hear your honesty over this last message series. I do feel that this church has been modeled after Christ, and I feel that the covenant between Christ and the Church is evident at NewSpring. Much love, my wife and I are grateful!

  23. Our Son Antonio Aramburu invited us to his Baptismal, we stayed and listened to Mark’s Service afterwards JoAnna and I had a talk we have been going to NewSpring since. Mark and Mary Alice have changed our Lives for the Best I’m not sure where we would be if not for Them, Thank you so much Mark and Mary Alice ❤️
