Mark and his wife, Lyn, began attending Faith after looking for a church that would engage their two children in God’s Word. Nearly 40 years later, they are still privileged to not only attend with their children but with their grandchildren as well. His passion for studying and applying God’s Word led him to teaching and nurturing the faith of others at a local Bible college, as an Adult Bible Class teacher at Faith, and within his extended family. Mark’s ministry is complemented by his background of serving in multiple organizations through a variety of roles that utilize his gifts of teaching, giving and administration. This same blend of ministry and business has fed the pursuit of seeking alignment with God’s kingdom in all aspects of life.

As a follower of Jesus, 1 Jn 2:4-6 serves as a template for both life and ministry, "Whoever says, 'I know him,' but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did." Mark strives to live out this truth daily, serving needs as the Lord provides opportunity.
