Mark Richardson has
been Calvary’s Pastor for Music and Worship for over three years since he and
his family returned from Kenya. (Pastor Mark had served Calvary in that role
before going to Kenya as a missionary). Mark and Deborah are parents of Paul
(23), Jon (20), Rebecca (11) and Sara (8). Deborah stays very busy taking care of the family, singing in the choir and on the worship team and raising parrots. Paul is a student at STC where he
works on campus. He also operates the sound for our 11:00 service, loves music
and film and is very gifted with computers. Jon is studying theatre and film at
St. Edward’s University in Austin. Rebecca and Sara attend IDEA academy and
both love music and acting.
Mark is responsible for leading worship for both
English services and serves as a resource for all aspects of music ministry at
Calvary, as well as overseeing the sound, lighting, media and video ministries
for our worship services. As Calvary uniquely offers a "classic" style worship service with choir and orchestra, a "contemporary" style worship service with a band, and a Spanish language worship service, we are blessed to have someone like Mark. Mark is gifted in the leading and arranging of choir music and musical programs. He also has an understanding and appreciation for contemporary style worship as he gives leadership to that service. Additionally, Mark is very good about working with the rest of the team in helping to coordinate music and worship ministry that address the multi-language needs of our congregation. Mark is also editor of the weekly bulletin. He is very thankful for the
incredibly gifted and dedicated team of staff and volunteers who do a lot of
the “heavy lifting” every week in worship and children’s music ministry, and he
is thankful for his partner in ministry, Benjamin Aguirre who leads Spanish
language worship.
We are grateful for Mark and for his heartfelt ministry.
