Dr. Mark L. Richardson
Pastor for Preaching and Vision
The Lord called me to this great church family in 2009. He has done great things to us and through us as we continue to fulfill the mission He has given us. The Great Commission! My wife, Monica, and I have four grown sons. I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, FL, saved by God's grace at seven years of age, and surrendered to God's call into the gospel ministry at age seventeen. I earned a B.A. in Religion from Oklahoma Baptist University (Shawnee, OK), a Masters of Divinity degree with honors, and a Doctor of Ministry specializing in expository preaching from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Kansas City, Missouri). I am also a member of the Evangelical Theological Society, and like golf, weight lifting, pool, and playing drums and percussion in praise and worship bands.
We invite you to surrender to God and receive His forgiveness of sin by turning to Him in faith. Lose your life in the service of others, both locally and globally. There is no greater risk and satisfaction. And there is no greater reward! Join us in the journey!
