Mark Pitts, Pastor Emeritus

Mark has been our senior pastor since 1996. He was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, and spent most of his growing up years out in the country where his family raised quarter horses. He accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior his senior year of high school.  After high school he attended Murray State University to study construction engineering, but in the spring of his freshman year God dramatically called him into vocational ministry.

He met his wife, Nancy, in late 1983 and they married soon thereafter.  They have two wonderful children: Ryan, an Air Force pilot, who along with his wife, Jesse, have 3 children; and Sarah, whose husband, Richard, is in the Army with their beautiful daughter.

Pastor Mark retired as Senior Pastor at VMBC on July 4, 2021.
