Park Street Church

Park Street Church (“PSC”), founded in 1809, is a large thriving church in downtown Boston, with a membership of about 800. We are a diverse community of people whose mission is to make disciples of Jesus who become like him together. We believe and are united by the good news that Jesus is Lord. Our common life together is fueled by the joy that God has been so good to sinful and broken people like us, bringing us forgiveness, healing, and salvation—new life! Our mission and life are shaped by our location in the heart of the city of Boston and by a longtime passion for mission across the world. We are committed to life-giving biblical proclamation, to transformative relationships with one another across the diverse generations and ethnicities that are found in our community, and to faithful worship of the triune God.

Rev. Mark Booker is a strong, substantive preacher, who can preach both exegetically and topically. He

communicates truth in a clear, organized way reflecting an evangelical and Reformed approach. He presents the application of Scripture in a way that is pragmatic, authentic, full of grace and humility, yet challenging and moving. The wisdom that he conveys from the pulpit is timeless and reaches across generations. Rev. Booker’s ministry experience has been shaped by a heart and vision for Boston as well as for missions. He yearns to see the Church flourish in the City of Boston for the sake of the greater Kingdom of God. The Church’s Global Missions Program was a key part of Rev. Booker’s initial attraction to Park Street Church. His heart for missions was exhibited early on when he spent six weeks as a college student preaching in Lesotho. Inspired by Park Street’s record of missions giving, Rev. Booker has held that up as a model for the church.

Rev. Booker has sixteen years of experience in leading churches. He and his wife, Mandy, have four children. His education includes a Bachelor of Arts Degree, in Economics, from Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, and both a Master of Arts, Theology (First Class) and a Master of Studies, Theology (Distinction), from the University of Oxford (Queen’s College) in the United Kingdom.
