Something you don't know about Marc: He used to coach men’s college basketball before God called me into ministry. He coached for 3 years at Mercer University in Georgia and for 3 years at Hillsborough Community College in Florida. He absolutely loved coaching but not near as much as He loves being the pastor of CRC!!.
In his spare time, Marc enjoys hanging out with Kim and their girls which covers a myriad of activities! He enjoys running on the treadmill especially AFTER I have finished my run!

Life Story:
I grew up in Tampa, Florida. I was blessed to have parents who loved God. I received Jesus Christ into my life at the age of 6 and was baptized soon after this decision. My father felt a call into ministry shortly after I got saved so we moved out to Fort Worth, Texas for him to go to seminary. After graduation, we moved back to Florida where my father became a pastor of a church in Tampa.
As I grew up, I was either in church or a basketball gym. I was blessed to receive a scholarship to play basketball in college. I was one of the tallest players on my high school basketball team and instantly became one of the shortest players on my college team. It was during my sophomore year in college that I really struggled with doubts about my salvation. God led me to end the doubts by making a decision once and for all to receive Christ as my Savior and Lord which I followed with believer’s baptism.
I coached men’s basketball for 6 years in college and taught for 3 of those years. It was during the final 2 years of coaching that I met Kim at church in Tampa. It was also during this time that I felt God’s call to go into ministry. God divinely brought Kim and I together to serve Him as a team in ministry. We quit our jobs in Florida, moved to Texas, got married in Abilene and I started seminary at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary all within the same 6 week period. You talk about stepping out in faith!!
Our time in ministry together has been BLESSED! God has truly done more than all we have asked or imagined! I served for almost 8 years at the First Baptist Church of Corinth, Texas. The last 4 years I served as Associate Pastor.
God called me to come to CRC in December of 2002. I have had the blessing and privilege of serving as Pastor of this fantastic church since that time. I cannot put into words the joy it is for me and my family to serve together with the people at CRC! God has done, is doing and will continue to do amazing things in our midst as we trust and obey Him. The exciting news is the best is yet to come at CRC! God is good ALL the time!
