We
are blessed to have Marcus Rodriguez as our Pastor for Families with
Students. Marcus is originally
from the Rio Grande Valley and a graduate of UTPA. He and his wife Hannah love the Lord and love
teenagers. Marcus also enjoys
fishing, photography, and video editing, among other things. The Rodriguez’ are the proud parents of
Bethany (see photo above) and Lydia who recently arrived (see photo below)!
Marcus’
ministry is directly with students in Middle and High School but also includes
students’ parents and adults who volunteer in student ministry. The student ministry consists of Sunday
morning Bible Fellowships at two different hours ministering to students whose
families attend any of our English or Spanish language services. The midweek experience for Calvary
students of all ages is called “Remedy” and is essentially a worship service
with a teaching time led by Pastor Marcus. Annual/seasonal events in Calvary’s student ministry are
Katalyst (an intense discipleship weekend), Camp Zephyr (a summer camp
experience), Congreso (a student ministry conference), and occasional mission
service experiences throughout the year.
In addition to student ministry, Marcus also oversees our webpage design
and maintenance. On occasion
Pastor Marcus supplies the pulpit in the English language services. God has used him every time he preaches and we are grateful for that.
Please pray for Pastor Marcus and his family as they raise their beautiful daughters and as they go into a busy summer that includes Camp Zephyr and a trip for Marcus to Kenya with a Calvary group. May God continue to use Marcus as he ministers to our students and their families.
