Our Staff

Mark is a Midland native, although he has lived on both the east and west coast. In 1987 Mark graduated from Texas Tech University and worked with statistics in various industries until around 2000. Mark and his wife Dana then moved to the east coast to work as house parents in a group home with teenaged boys. They then moved to North Carolina so he could attend seminary and they continued to work as house parents, this time with adolescent boys. In 2005, they moved to Midland to work as the children’s and preschool minister here at Fannin. Mark and his wife Dana have two children, Jake and Marcie. Mark’s ministry goal is to have families that learn and grow together. To think that the church can teach our children, our teenagers, and ourselves how to follow Christ in a few hours a week is foolish. What the church can do is give families the tools to do this teaching in the home and partner with them in these efforts. This is my goal.
