Our Interim Pastor is coming. . . .


St. Mark’s Session approved Rev. James Kelly Poinsett as interim pastor at a special session meeting Monday, August 10, 2015. We are thankful to have a person whose skills and experience match our perceived needs. Rev. Poinsett has helped congregations develop a renewed sense of purpose while sustaining continuity, energy in church life and maintaining staff cohesion and morale. He has also successfully worked to support increases in giving, attendance and mission participation with a God centered approach. His preaching style is to relate scripture and theology in accessible, practical ways that speak to listener’s experiences.

While Rev. Poinsett comes to us from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, his parents live in Union, Missouri.
With Jim Poinsett’s leadership, St. Mark will have the opportunity to discern God’s call as we begin a self- study.

Rev. Poinsett will begin his work with us September 21, 2015. This is an exciting time for St. Mark Presbyterian . As a community of believers working together for God’s Glory, we thank the Lord for his many blessing.
