Our Vision of what we are becoming…

We see thousands of people in the Greater San Marcos area, from all walks and stages in life, from every culture, finding new lives in Christ!

We see a church that is diverse and growing, yet still a family

We see a church where people are learning to worship God in a real & meaningful way

We see a church where God’s Word is seen not as just information, but as a Life Manual being taught and applied in practical ways.

We see a church that starts many other new churches in Texas and around the globe.

We see a church that adopts an unreached people group somewhere on the planet and does everything it can to help those people become followers of Christ.

Our Purpose… Fellowship of San Marcos EXISTS to help people experience a real relationship with Christ

I. Reaching Up

Matthew 22:36-38 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” ³⁷Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ ³⁸This is the first and greatest commandment.

Ephesians 5:1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children…

A couple of areas we really need to work on:

a) Regular attendance in church

Hebrews 10:25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another–and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

1 Corinthians 16:2a On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income…

b) Materialism

Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 23:23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices–mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law–justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

II. Reaching Out

Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 22:39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God…

Jesus Christ, This is it. Today I'm starting a relationship with You. I turn from living for myself to you. I ask You to forgive me for the wrong things I've done. Thank You for forgiving me so I can start to feel closer to You. I want You to start to show me how to live. Direct my life. Please take over my life and guide me. I have a lot to learn. Would You please teach me? Help me to live for you every moment of my life. Amen.

III. Reaching In

1 Peter 3:8 Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.
