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. 

Our mission (it’s simple)

We exist to bring people into an intimate relationship with

Jesus Christ and each other.

life change happens in small groups

We would love for you to join up with other believers and walk out your faith together! True discipleship happens in the context of small groups. (Jesus was in a small group…so we ought be in a small group). We have over 50 options and they are organized around different types of people or needs: young adult, families, men, women, activities, sermon discussion, book club, prayer, mission, and many more.

ON THIS ROCK

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

Check out our plans to expand our property and facilities over the next 5 years! WE NEED MORE SPACE (kids space, parking, and seats in the worship center) 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.
