Pastor Mark grew up in a Christian home and regularly attended church with his family. When Mark was 13 years old God revealed his Son to him, as well as his need for forgiveness. Mark confessed his sin before the Lord, and he received new life in Christ by grace through faith. After finishing high school, Mark attended Messiah College and graduated with a degree in Bible. He then began working with Youth for Christ, during which time he met and married his wonderful wife, Karen. In the Lord’s providence, Pastor Mark left YFC and began working as a caseworker at the Department of Public Welfare. It was there that he met Pastor Dennis and subsequently began attending the church that would become Covenant Baptist Church of Uniontown. After serving at Covenant for several years in a variety of different ways, the congregation called Mark to serve as their full-time pastor in 2009. He served Covenant as their full-time pastor until the end of 2023. Pastor Mark is constantly amazed at the grace God shows to Covenant, both individually and corporately, and his burning desire is to see Jesus high and lifted up in the church and to see the community transformed by the power of the gospel. Mark and Karen live and minister in Uniontown. They have four adult children, all of whom are married, and several grandchildren that they love dearly.
