He is husband to Donna and they enjoy a happy marriage in which they seek to keep “Christ at the center.” Additionally, he also volunteers with Whidbey Resource Chaplains to serve the first responders of Whidbey Island. He has a Masters Degree in New Testament from Criswell College and is a lover of the Greek New Testament. Previously, Mark served as a co-pastor of Good Shepherd Community Church in Dallas, TX for nearly 11 years.

So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
1 Peter 5:1-4
