Mark grew up on the east side of Michigan and has been married for 31 years to his wife, Kristine. They have 2 children. Mark enjoys an early cup of coffee, which is just code for being out on the course beating Todd in a round of golf. (However, the man can also drink an exceptional amount of coffee.)

Evan has served as the Director of Student Ministries at MCRC since 2020. Evan grew up in the small town of Davisburg in the Detroit area and eventually traveled to Chicago where he received a BA in Biblical Studies from Moody Bible Institute in 2018. He and his wife, Paige, met at Moody and lived in Chicago for a few years before moving to Ludington. They have one child together.

Sara has served as the Ministry & Business Manager at MCRC since 2021. Sara received her BA in Organizational Communication from Western Michigan University. Sara plays a crucial behind the scenes role that helps each ministry run more effectively and to their fullest potential. Some might say that she is the “real boss” of the office. Sara considers herself a Ludington native being that she has lived here since she was young. She has three children with her husband, Matt. Next time you see her, ask her about her “cantankerous” dog. (It’s okay, we have no idea what that means either.)
