The Vision of St. Mark's is to have Jesus at the heart of all that we do as individuals, as a church and as the community of Kempshott. Our Mission is to be inspired by the Holy Spirit to serve, share and support in all these areas.

Jesus meets... our forthcoming sermon series starting in May and running through to August we will explore together encounters Jesus has with ordinary people and the effect that has on their lives. We believe that Jesus can and does changes lives whatever our circumstances. Copies of these sermons, with accompanying questions, can be found on our Sermons and talks page.

On 25th March 2012 Saint Mark's selebrated 25 years of serving the community of Kempshott from our present building. A celebration booklet was created capturing some of the Testimonies and Stories from those 25 years. This is available in hardcopy format from the church or can be downloaded in Adobe PDF format here: Testimonies and stories

Our parish includes the old 'village' of Kempshott. We are situated on the south-west edge of the town of Basingstoke in the beautiful county of Hampshire. As a parish community within the Church of England, St. Mark's is part of the Deanery of Basingstoke and the Diocese of Winchester.

With our faith firmly rooted in the person of Jesus Christ and the Scriptures, we draw on our rich Christian heritage and tradition to help us proclaim the unchanging Gospel to the ever-changing world. Making connections with the people and world around us is a key part of this task. As we help folk to see an extraordinary God at work in the details of ordinary daily life, we all move closer to God as he draws us to Himself.

For both the worshipping congregation and the wider community, St. Mark's offers a range of opportunities to encounter God and explore what it means to live the Christian life in post-modern Basingstoke.
