Mark Hood

Assistant Minister, Evening Service Pastor

Mark spends his time attending to the people of God and the Word of God with the aim of connecting both together! Mark is married to Pip, and they are blessed to have three great kids, Bethany, Leah and Joel, who love being involved at St Mark's - particuarly in our Sunday morning Sunday Club. Prior to ministry at St Mark's, Mark had a short career as a production planner, before studying at Ridley College where he graduated in 2007. One of Mark's ministry passions is to see men and women take a first step of trusting Christ and beginning to grow as a disciple of Christ. To relax, Mark attempts to continue his farming heritage by growing vegies in the backyard.
