  8. Thank you for not conforming to the standard of what ‘church’ has been in this modern age, but rather being an example of a church led by the lord

  10. Our family is so thankful for Pastor Mark and Mary Alice for making this an outreach church where our family feels welcome, inspired and leaving with the Holy Spirit in our hearts. We are able to grow closer to Jesus through the work done in this church and we are forever thankful for this wonderful place. We are grateful for everything from the “move you to years” music to the sermons to the kids ministries our children enjoy and are able to grow closer to Christ through.

  14. I can’t believe it’s been forty years! I’m barely over half that in my age, lol :). But I’ve been coming to Newspring since eighth grade and I’ve been volunteering in Adventure Avenue for ten years. I’ve loved every moment here and there is no other place I’d rather be. I’ve enjoyed every sermon Mark has given, especially Clash of Dynasties. This place and the people have had such an impact on me and my faith journey, and I know that wouldn’t be possible with you Mark and Mary Alice. Congratulations on forty years and many more years to come!

We appreciate you and your wife and entire family for following Gods lead and providing an amazing place to come to every week to fill our cup and provide us with the “GOOD News”. Something we can’t receive from this world. May God Bless you and your family, and continued blessings in this amazing ministry.
