Mark grew up Roman Catholic. Upon entering college, Mark was self-deceived, believing he was saved simply because he was confirmed into the Catholic church and did “good works.” God allowed Mark to sink deeper into sin until radically removing the blinders, regenerating his heart, and bringing him to true repentance and faith in Christ alone. Mark knew then that God would call him into pastoral ministry.

Mark previously served as an interim youth pastor in Columbia, SC and is an experienced teacher. Mark has a passion for building the Kingdom of God through evangelism and culture building. He is married to Ali and they are blessed with 11 children. They reside in Catawba, SC.

Mark is zealous for the Glory of God, the Authority of Scripture and proclaiming Christ to the lost.
