At First Presbyterian Church of San Antonio, our mission stretches beyond borders, embracing a vision of Christian education, discipleship, and church planting. Through the dedicated efforts of the Mission South Champion Team, the Biblicus Ministry is sowing seeds of hope and leadership across South Texas, Mexico, and beyond. We are excited to introduce you to the inspiring individuals at the heart of this mission—our Biblicus students.

Biblicus Ministry: A Commitment to Growth

Biblicus was founded as a project to enhance the Presbyterian Church of Mexico and South Texas through prayer, networking, and scholarships. This endeavor is sustained by FPC Covenant Partners, Missionary support, and dedicated staff, ensuring robust engagement with our faith communities on both sides of the Rio Grande. As of 2025, First Presbyterian Church of San Antonio has proudly supported 21 students in this program, each of whom is on a path to making a significant impact in their communities.

Biblicus walks alongside seminary students in Mexico by offering scholarships, mentorship, and prayer partnerships as they prepare to serve Christ and bring healing and transformation to families, churches, and communities. Each student's journey is enriched through:

• Mentoring from a partner pastor in Mexico.
• Prayer partnerships with members of FPC San Antonio.
• Quarterly virtual gatherings for learning and fellowship.
• A selection of books from FPC to strengthen their ministry.
• Completion of the five-day AMO training focused on biblical family discipleship.
• Participation in the annual MeXed conference, connecting them with Christian educators and discipleship ministers nationwide.
