Mark Hatcher
Lead Pastor
It is an honor and privilege to serve as lead pastor here at JC NAZ since October of 2017! I have been married to my beautiful wife, Amy, since December 1998. Together, we have four children - Moriah, Adalynn, Makenna and Gabe.
I have a passion for communicating the truth of God's word in a clear, relevant and authentic way. The most exciting thing about ministry for me is seeing people come fully alive in Christ, set free from their sin and shame, and cheering them on as they fulfill God's very purpose for their lives! I enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, and working out. I have a gift for turning nearly any activity into a competition. If you want to motivate me to do something, simply say: "I bet you can't!" I hate cottage cheese. Most injuries I've experienced over the years are self-inflicted and have been prefaced with me saying, "Watch this!". I used to compete in various rodeo circuits in bull riding (this explains a lot right here).
My favorite movies are the Bourne series, Gladiator, The Patriot and nearly anything with Denzel Washington. For more interesting life facts, for questions, or just to say hello and set up a time to grab a good cup of coffee, drop me a message at markhatcher@jcnaz.org.
