Board of Directors
Marco Broccardo
President
Originally from South Africa, Marco is the founder and Lead Pastor at Hope Rock Church. He and his wife, Catherine, have three children, two of which attend Spicewood Christian Academy. In 1999, Marco was in the grips of addiction, but after giving his life to Jesus in a faith-based treatment center, he was delivered and set free. He says, “The Word teaches us in Romans 8:28 that all things work for our good, and this verse has been so real to me. If I wasn’t an addict, I am not sure I would have ever found Jesus or at least needed Him as desperately as I did.”
Fun Fact: In 2013, Marco was part of a three-man expedition that broke a world record. They were the first men to cross the Empty Quarter (1210km desert in the Arabian Peninsula) unassisted and on foot. The arduous trek took 40 days and 40 nights.
