Mark Corral — Elder/Pastor in Training
Mark grew up in a religious home. Entering college, Mark was self-deceived, believing he was saved simply because he was confirmed into the church and did good works. God allowed Mark to sink deeper into sin until radically taking the blinders off, 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 is currently enrolled in Reformed Baptist Seminary, seeking a diploma in exegetical studies. He previously served as an interim youth pastor in Columbia, SC and has had various teaching roles in previous churches. Mark currently works for a financial firm, managing the corporation’s inventory of laws, rules, and regulations. He is married to Alicia (Ali), and they are blessed with 9 children. He and his wife reside in Catawba, South Carolina. Mark is zealous for the glory of God, the authority of Scripture, and proclaiming Christ to the lost.
