MarkTheissen

Mark was born and raised in Rapid City, SD. By the time he was in high school his interest in guitar, and song writing was firmly established. It was during his junior year of high school that he realized church attendence (or any other "religious activity ") didn't make him a Chrisitan. Consequently, he made a personal decision to trust Jesus Christ to come into his life.

After high school, Mark went to the University of South Dakota as a histroy... no wait.... music major. While at USD, he was involved in Campus Crusade for Christ services as student mobilization leader from 1978 to 1980.

Since then, music and ministry have been important facets of Mark's life. He has led or participated in praise and worship for Campus Crusade for Christ, Scope Ministries, and currently at CLM and First Evagelical Free Church. He also cousels and teaches at CLM and was ordained through Grace Community Ministries in 2005.
