Meet the Pastor
Pastor Mark R. Renn with wife, Stephanie and son, Matthew, Christmas 2008
Dear Friends,
As the Pastor of Providence Presbyterian Church, I take great pleasure in serving Christ with the members of and visitors to our congregation. From my first day here in August 2008, I have always been encouraged by the sense of community and authentic hospitality that is displayed by our church. Providence Presbyterian is a welcoming and discipleship driven community of faith that cherishes our responsibility and privilege to love God and neighbor.
In the months and years to come, I hope that you will join us in making Providence Presbyterian a fitting representation of the Kingdom of God to our West Mobile community. We acknowledge and utilize the unique gifts that each of our members and visitors bring to our community, and know that you too will find in Providence a place to serve.
I love this church because it is committed to our Presbyterian heritage and Reformed Theology, while still seeking to be connected to our current culture and providing relevant ministries for all ages. Providence has always been proud of its ability to offer a blended worship service that combines the best of the traditional elements of worship while incorporating today's worship styles. I feel confident that Providence offers the very things that people are looking for most in a church; a sense of family, a commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and a desire to see our faith impact the world around us. I hope that you will join us one Sunday for worship and find yourself never wanting to leave.
Your Brother in Christ,
Rev. Mark R. Renn
