In 1993, Mark surrendered his life to Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, through the ministry of Evergreen Community Church. He became actively involved with Evergreen’s ministries as a small group leader and coach, and he and his wife, Deb, taught “Fit To Be Tied,” (a pre-marriage course for dating and engaged couples).
In 2000, Mark was ordained as pastor at Evergreen-New Hope. As co-pastor, his primary responsibilities and passions include: Church management, administration, teaching, speaking, the children’s and teen ministries, and a coach of small group and ministry leaders.
Mark has been married to his wife, Deb, since 1994. They have three children: Anne, Jake, and Kate. Uniquely, the Stiglicz’s are the only blended-family among all the pastors. Personally, Mark enjoys taking walks with his wife, going to parks or watching movies with his kids, and is also an avid NFL football fan.
