What is a "Worship
Pastor"?
Mark is responsible for guiding our church into knowing God
more deeply. Mark oversees the Arts at Fully Alive. We believe
that music, drama, dance and the technical aspects necessary
to support those arts are extremely valuable to God. For
that reason, we celebrate the Arts as a normal part of our
different services. In addition to directing these areas
at Fully Alive, Mark leads the church in singing, prayer
and other forms of worship at the Fully Alive services.
How did you come to Fully Alive?
I felt God was calling me to a new ministry, which was very
hard for me since I had been the music pastor at the church
for 12 years and also had grown up in that church. I wanted
to be sure God wasn't making a mistake so I asked Him to answer
a specific prayer request and He did. At this same time God
had been doing a work in Scott's heart so together with our
wives (who knew all along) we resigned our positions and began
a new church..... Fully Alive Community Church. And so the
awesome adventure began! |

How have you progressed on your
spiritual journey to be a Christian?
I grew up in Sunday school and church and accepted the Lord
at the age of 9. I felt God calling me to be a music pastor
at the age of 14. At 21 I recommitted my life to Christ after
three years of college. I personally have grown so much in
my daily walk with God during the past few years as I have
seen Him do incredible miracles. God has been so good to
me!
