Read Mark’s full story

Mark was born on the mission field in Mexico City. Raised in a pastor's home, he developed a heart for people who were spiritually hungry and felt called to devote his life to shepherding God's Bride.

Mark and his wife, April, have four children: Sofia, Titus, Annabelle, and Cole. After moving from South Florida and joining Cedar Creek Community Church in 2017, they immediately fell in love with Wisconsin and their church family.

Pastor Mark holds a Bachelor's Degree in Theology from Moody Bible Institute and a Master of Divinity from Knox Theological Seminary. He has been pastoring in various contexts since 2010.

“My passion is to love people where they’re at and walk with them into a healthier relationship with their God.”

– Pastor Mark
