Fairway Baptist Church

As the son of a pastor, Mark’s world has always revolved around the church. While he grew up in such a godly home, Mark says he did not come to treasure Christ until he was 18. He attended a small bible college, Southwestern Assemblies of God University, in Waxahachie, Texas, graduating in 2003 with a Church Ministries degree. It was there he met his wife, Sheila. They were married shortly after graduation before serving as full time youth pastor / associate pastor immediately following college for 4 years. Mark next attended and served a church plant in Tyler, Texas, in a non-vocational role, which merged with an Acts29 church plant, Living Acts Church, in 2011, where he was an Elder until moving to Wichita Falls, Texas. The Carters have been members at Fairway Baptist since 2015. Mark and Sheila have 2 sons, Eli and Josiah. They strongly believe the local church, and the strong gospel community therein, is essential to the believer for knowing Christ and treasuring Him to the fullest. Their hope is that the body at Fairway Baptist will be used to make much of Christ by loving God and loving each other well.
