Mark has served overt thirty years as an ordained minister in the Church of the Nazarene. He has pastored three congregations in Virginia and Illinois. Most recently, he has pursued a new calling as a hospital chaplain in the SSM Health System, where he finds Jesus’ presence among the sick, afflicted, and grieving. His heart is drawn towards those outside the religious walls of the church. His present role has allowed him to serve hundreds of patients, their families, and the medical staff of the Good Sam community. He and his wife, Candy, rejoice in the opportunity to work with Emmanuel Equine Ministry.
