Mark came to know Jesus as a teenager, and in his senior year of college, God called Mark to ministry. Mark has a passion for each person he meets to know Jesus and to experience the joy of seeing God use their lives, just as Mark has. Mark loves teaching messages, coaching church planters, and just getting out of the church to meet new people in our community. Though he has spent time living in CA, MI, and PA, Mark has always been an Illinois boy and the Cubs have always been his team. Mark has an Economics degree from Calvin College (Grand Rapids, MI) and a Masters of Religious Education from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (Deerfield, IL). Mark and Michelle have one son Cody, a daughter-in-law Brenna, and a granddaughter Quincee.
