Mark Berrier, Pastor\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Mark Berrier was born and raised in the North Dallas area (of the great state of Texas)!\u00a0 He grew up in the Independent Christian Church, influenced by two wonderful, godly parents who tried hard to model Christian faithfulness.\u00a0 He received a degree in Bible from Dallas Christian College in 1997, and since then has been serving the Lord in ministry for more than two decades, with about half of that time in youth ministry and the latter half in pulpit ministry as senior pastor.\u00a0 Theologically speaking, Mark prefers to practice expository preaching, teaching the Bible as accurately and applicably as possible, because he believes that God speaks most clearly through His Word\u2013not the opinions of pastors.\u00a0 When he\u2019s not working or doing family things, he enjoys movies, trail-riding, reading, kayaking, playing guitar, and lifting heavy objects.\u00a0 Mark and his lovely wife, Shannan, live in McKinney with their three youngest children, and near their eldest son (and daughter-in-law).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
