Welcome home.

Letter from our Pastor


Welcome home.

It’s great to have you here! Let us introduce you to our church family. You’ll discover that our passion is to bring people into an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and each other. At PromiseLand, our doors are wide open to people from all backgrounds, regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey. What people usually notice first about us is our diversity of race, age, and backgrounds. PromiseLand is a blend of many cultures that are all going in the same direction: towards Jesus. 

It won’t take you long to discover that we’re more than just a Sunday church. In fact, we’re actually a network of small groups. We offer multiple ways to connect with people in person and online. And if you’d like to develop authentic and enduring relationships with others, you’ll be glad to know there are opportunities to join a group all the time. Together, we’re striving to become the kind of church described in the Bible, where there’s relevant teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, constant prayer, and compassionate care for those in need. In short, we’d like to have the kind of contagious Christianity that can influence and encourage the entire community, one life at a time. 

So whether you’re a spiritual seeker who’s just starting to ask questions about God, or a committed Christian who wants to sink the roots of your faith even deeper, you can find a home here at PromiseLand San Marcos. In our relationship with God, our family, our friends, and our world ... it’s where new heights begin. We invite you to worship with us this Sunday! In the meantime, you’ll find everything you need right here to get connected to PromiseLand San Marcos online resources. You can use this site to check out our Student Ministries, listen or watch one of our weekend services, find information on our small groups, or read about what’s going on around the church.  Enjoy, and please contact us if you have any questions.

join a small group!

We are launching dozens of small groups in early September and we want to make sure you are involved. This is THE best way to grow in your faith and help others grow in their faith. It is more than meetings. Small groups are about building relationships. These groups CHANGE lives and it comes purely from people who make themselves available to the move of God’s Holy Spirit.

ON THIS ROCK

“…upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.” - Jesus

Jesus is building his church here in San Marcos, and we are busy making his disciples. It is a great partnership that is producing much fruit. On August 6, 2023, we began rolling out plans to the congregation to expand our ministries and facilities over the next 5 years. We are calling this initiative the “On This Rock” Campaign.
