We are so grateful for the addition of Mark Ellis to our Parkway Vinton team! Get to know your new assistant campus pastor more below!
Family:
Mark has been married to his wife Dee for 40 years. They are blessed to have 4 children and 7 grandchildren.
Calling:
At the age of 16, Mark felt the call to full time ministry. He continued to persue this calling by attending and graduating from Liberty University and has been in ministry as a full-time pastor for the past 30 years.
Fun:
Some would describe Mark as an adrenaline ju**ie. He enjoys bungee jumping, skydiving, paragliding, nascar racing, zip lining, and deep sea diving. Most impressively, Mark has skydived at 10,000 feet and has ridden with a NASCAR driver doing laps at the Daytona 500 at 170mph. Safe to say Mark knows how to have fun!
We can’t wait to see how God continues to use Mark here at Parkway Vinton! If you see him around, say hi! He would love to connect with you!
