After serving for 15 years on the staff of Temple Baptist Church and Crown College, God led Mark Fowler and his family to Carter County. Pastor Fowler has served as the pastor of Pleasant Beach Baptist Church for over a decade. He loves the Word of God, which is the only sure foundation on which we are to build our lives. His passion is to lead families and individuals to this solid foundation.

God has blessed him with a wonderful family with which to serve. He and his wife, Stephanie, were raised in Christian homes in East Tennessee, near where they now serve. We have been given by God the privilege to rear three beautiful daughters, Abby (Marlow), Cassy VanDesande, and Maddie. We have been blessed with three wonderful grandkids: Judah (Marlow), Lydia (Marlow), and Hudson (VanDesande).

*We are grateful to have Pastor Fowler serve as one of our Enjoying the Journey board members.
