  3. Thank you for being there, faithful servant. I always get something from your messages, which is notable because I am 86 years old and sometimes, like a teenager, think I think that I know it all. Your wisdom is boundless, Oh Solomon.

  4. Thank you for your steadfast commitment to Christ, the Bible and reaching beyond the walls of the church. Since 1973 Mom and I have been a part of the growth, missteps, and bold moves that have made this church. We are so blessed to have such gentle shepherds. May Gods favor and light continue to be demonstrated through you.

  5. Florida here! My friend Artie has told so many of us about NewSpring Church in Wichita, Kansas. We have our Bibles and I for one watch you often. I have learned so much from clash of the dynasties, following by instrument, desperado and many others. I love the wedding vowels that are exchanged. I usually watch at least one sermon a week and if I’m needing a pick me up, I listen to more. and then there’s Noah’s window. Thank you so much for giving yourselves wholeheartedly to the Lord and his message to us. Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you to everyone for your tireless efforts. We are all listening!

  6. I don’t have command of the English language to express properly my gratitude for all they have done for me and my family. Congratulations for a job well done. We are all better children of God with a leader like Mark.

  7. We moved to Wichita 6 years ago and had come from a small town and very small congregation of a denomination that had basically just split. We were disillusioned and saddened and a bit confused until the first week we attended Newspring and heard Mark bring the message. We knew then, we had found our new home church! Thank you so very much for renewing our faith and setting us back on track. We very much appreciate hearing the truth from the bible and it’s relativity to our lives, and it being done so with such humbleness. We are so very thankful for our opportunity to attend Newspring and have adopted the saying of “Blessed people are blessed to bless people.” It is very obvious that you, Mark and Mary Alice, are a team. We thank you for being such faithful, determined and loving leaders of our church! May God continue to bless you and your family and your ministry!

  13. Dear Pastor Mark and Mary Alice,

    Congratulations on four incredible years of ministry at NewSpring Church!

    I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the impact you both have had on my life. Pastor Mark, your messages have not only drawn me closer to God but have truly changed the way I understand His love and grace. Through your leadership and teaching, my faith has grown deeper, and my love for God has expanded in ways I never imagined possible.

    More than a pastor, you’ve become a friend, and that means the world to me. Mary Alice, your kindness and strength shine so clearly, and the two of you together are a beautiful example of faith and love in action.

    Thank you for all you pour into this church family. May God bless you and your family abundantly in the years ahead—covering you with His favor, peace, and joy as you continue to lead and serve.

    With heartfelt appreciation,

  14. Started coming in I believe 2004? The Hoover family has been a big inspiration to us! I am so much like Mark… We now live in Holts Summit , MO ( Near Jefferson City ). So we don’t get down to join the congregation. However we never miss a Podcast. May God continue to Bless your family and New Spring Church! Congratulations on 40 Years!!!

  15. I was invited to New Spring in 2017, coming from a small Free-Will Baptist church, the size and different service times made it a bit overwhelming. I put those personal issues aside and listened to the messages, which were challenging and reassuring of my relationship with Christ. Several weeks later, when my host went to the children’s area to get one of his girls, that environment and everything it represented sold me on New Spring as my new home church as I knew they were investing in the children and future of Christianity.
    Today, after learning the path New Spring took, Mark and Mary Alice got a vision to Glorify God and boldly set the course for what we see today as New Spring Church.
    Thank you for all you have done, for following God’s lead and sharing your lives with us. So much to be thankful for.

  18. All glory unto God for the 40 years He has made you able to do His work of winning souls unto Christ. May you continue to remain faithful and obedient to God in all things. I praise the Lord for you, and I pray that God will give you good health and the strength to continue His work for another “40” years. Congratulations.

  19. We both grew up attending church regularly. We continued it through our marriage, but it was more a box to check or a chore to perform. NewSpring changed all that. We now look forward to each service where we not only learn about our Lord, but we come away feeling inspired, encouraged and challenged. It has made our lives better. Thank you for helping create this place.

  20. Dear Mark & Mary Alice,

    Thank you for being ambassadors of truth in a world where truth is scarce. Thank you for being voices of reason in a time filled with much nonsensical noise. Thank you for caring for children’s spiritual needs just as much as you prioritize adult’s spiritual needs. Thank you for not shying away from difficult topics in the Bible for your own comfort. Thank you for everything!

  21. Congratulations and thank you for embracing us in ICT! We love you and I am so thankful you are our pastor.
    Bless you both,

  23. When we walked into New Spring we didn’t know if it was right until you opened up the sermon and it made us feel like we were home. Your love for God and for others is what keeps us coming to New Spring. We are proud to invite others as we know they will see your faithfulness, care for others and love for faith and family. Thank you for being a constant in this world today! God Bless you both for being you!!

    Terry and Kris Newman

  24. Mark & Mary Alice,
    I found my faith here at NewSpring like many others, and it changed my life completely. I now raise my boys to follow God and hearing them talk about Jesus is so Beautiful. I have also been blessed to start my career here as a Designer which has shown me that there is place for every talent in God’s kingdom and I feel so blessed to use my skills to serve!
    Thanks so much and happy 40 years!

  25. WOW and thank you!!
    You two will never know until you get to Heaven the amount of people that will enter Heaven because of your faithfulness and commitment to preaching God’s truth at any cost to yourselves. We are so blessed to sit under your guidance. Thanks for coming to Kansas!!! God continue to bless you both!
