Sanctuary
All this month we've been focusing on different mission fields, and today we conclude with a look at the national Church of God Ministries. Please welcome our guest speaker Mark Fast, Executive Director of Advancement for the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana.) Mark served as a pastor in the Pacific Northwest and across the country for twenty-seven years. He held the position of lead pastor at the Centralia Community Church of God in Washington State, planted a church in suburban Seattle, and was part of the pastoral team in Spokane. In each of these callings, Mark and the ministry flourished. His grandfather, father, and uncle have all been towering figures in the Church of God in the west. Mark has carried on this tradition in his own right. He has been a Warner Pacific University Board member, a worship pastor, active member of the Church of God Large Church Roundtable, and speaker for countless camps, conventions, and conferences for the Church of God. He also has been a Chapter 4 Institute Fellow. Mark has earned Bachelor’s degrees in Christian Ministry and another in Business Administration, both from Warner Pacific University. Mark is based in Vancouver, WA, but travels coast to coast serving the Church of God. Please join us as he tells us about some of the work done by our church on the national level.
