Mark McClintick, Pastor
Mark grew up on a small farm in Iowa in a family that did not attend church or even discuss religion. In fact you could say he graduated from the school of hard knocks. It was after meeting Tammy and starting a family that they moved to a small town in central Iowa where God placed them right beside a pastor who not only led them to the
Lord, but is still one of Marks mentors. It was during this time that Mark began to feel the call towards ministry. He began by taking ministry classes at a satellite of Grace and found great joy in them.
He soon took a stateside missions position with Child Evangelism Fellowship as a chapter director. Through this experience and training Mark enrolled with Moody Bible Institute where he continued his education. He later transferred to ATS seminary in Camilla Georgia as they were transitioning from his current internship with First Family Church in Ankeny Iowa to his first full time position as "young lives pastor" in Mechanicsville Virginia.
Over the years Mark has served in Minnesota and North Dakota before landing in Nebraska where he served a small rural church for 8 years before coming to Saving Grace Bible Church. Tammy brings gifts of hospitality and faith to Saving Grace Bible Church as Mark serves as Pastor. They enjoy being with family, including their dogs, visiting the kids and doing things as a couple. Tammy crochets and has a craft business with their daughter Josie. She loves to read, cook and bake, in her words, “all things food”. Mark enjoys hiking, muscle cars, motorcycle riding, and do I dare say, Hawkeys?
