Meet Pastor Mark Kincade
Mark has been in ministry for over twenty years and has served in Piscataway since 1998. Originally from Indiana, Mark married a Jersey Girl and now loves the Garden State. Even though he is not crazy about New Jersey weather, Mark is grateful that God has brought him here and given him a church family who are fun to lead and serve. Mark is married with two sons and a dog.
Mark teaches the Bible with a mixture of conviction, humor, and compassion, believing that Jesus loves lost and hurting people and calls his church to do the same. He enjoys helping Christians take new steps of faith as they learn to love God, love people and serve others. Mark is known for being friendly, informal, and approachable – in fact, the only people who call him “Reverend” are telemarketers.

Interests
Mark enjoys spending time with his family, watching sports and movies, and exploring the great hiking trails in New Jersey.

Life verse
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
Hebrews 12:1-3
