Mark Grant Church Elder 

With over 24 years as an Elder, Mark is dedicated to spiritual growth. His ministry motivation stems from a desire to encourage others in their faith, fostering a God-centered community for spiritual growth.

In addition to ministry, Mark earned a BA in Political Science and Economics in 1974 and a BS in Elementary Education in 1976 at Ashland College. After three years in education, he transitioned into the printing industry for 32 years, including 13 years as the owner of Counselor Business Forms & Systems.

Next to accepting Jesus, his best decision was to marry Carrie Jen Grant. They’ve been married for 42 years, and have three children: James (married to Emma, with a daughter named Elise), Timothy (married to Rachel), and Sarah. As retirees, they enjoy traveling, gardening, supporting the Eagles, and watching winter sports, especially the Olympics. They value reading, particularly historical fiction and of course, Scripture.
