Connect Church on Main

Their youngest was born right here in Indiana. Today, all of their children are grown and married, and they’ve blessed Mark and Tina with six beautiful grandchildren. Pastor Mark holds a B.A. in Religious Studies and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling. He brings decades of experience in pastoral counseling, with a focus on marriage, family, and spiritual growth. Army veteran, Mark als

o enjoyed a successful parallel career as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor with the Department of Veterans Affairs. He considers it one of his greatest honors to have served fellow veterans until his retirement. Now fully focused on ministry and family, Pastor Mark lives at the intersection of deep faith and hands-on leadership. His sermons walk carefully through Scripture, faithfully teaching God’s eternal truths while inviting us into deeper trust and more devoted love for Jesus. His messages are grounded in the Word, alive with vivid imagery and graphic design, and anchored in a commitment to both grace and obedience. In 2023, God led us to a bold new season. We sold our former property and moved into a commercial space in the heart of town. Our name changed to Connect Church, but our mission — to follow Jesus and serve others — remains the same. Renovations are transforming our new Main Street location into a vibrant center of ministry. In 2024, Pastor Mark launched a discipleship initiative that Jesus has used to transform our fellowship. New habits, deeper love, and growing holiness have marked this season. We’re excited to see this ministry expand and bear fruit. Our church shares a big vision: to love our community through a welcoming coffee café, indoor playground, bounce houses, a “Toddler Town” project, an indoor pickleball court, and fellowship areas where joy and connection flourish. We’re a small church — with big goals and an even bigger heart. Mark and Tina truly minister as a team. Every Wednesday night, Tina prepares a home-cooked meal for our church family. Her kindness, joy, and love for Jesus shine in everything she does. Our church longs to be more than a gathering place — we aim to be a faith environment that moves people toward action. We’re not content with surface answers or shallow aspirations. Whether wrestling with spiritual struggles, discipling new believers, or counseling the weary, we embrace depth, wit, and holy curiosity. We’d love for you to visit — and to meet Pastor Mark in person.
