Please come and support Mark as he begins his pastoral journey with us, and support the PNC members as their efforts culminate in this celebration!

Reverend Mark Plunkett began as Co-Pastor of Spring Branch Presbyterian Church on Monday, September 11th. “I have always felt a bond of love and affection to Spring Branch Pres. I am blessed and extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to come “home” and serve my former home church,” said Mark.

Mark had a long career in teaching and education in the highly regarded Spring Branch ISD before his call to ministry, and served previously on the Board of Directors of Spring Branch Presbyterian Academy, and as Interim Director of Christian Education and Children’s Ministries for Spring Presbyterian Church. Spring Branch Pres is only his second call, after spending 12 years as Senior Pastor at Heritage Presbyterian Church in Texas following his graduation from Princeton Theological Seminary. Mark’s prior church service included as Clerk of Session and serving Ruling Elder before joining Spring Branch Pres as a member.

Mark holds a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Texas, a Master of Education from University of Houston, and received his Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, after beginning his call to ministry at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. “Mark was a former member and leader in Spring Branch Pres, and we were privileged to support his call to ministry on scholarship when he attended Austin and Princeton”, said Elizabeth Powell, Clerk of Session. “As we enter a growth mode, being able to call him home to bring his amazing gifts back to our Church and Academy, and help develop and mentor the next generation of pastors and church leaders is tremendously exciting.”
