Ministry Staff
Mark Hadley
Senior Minister
Mark and Beth and their two children, Grayson and Cora, joined VanChurch in 2019. They have served in churches over the past 20 years in Louisiana, Texas, and New Mexico.
Mark and Beth enjoy traveling, date nights, family outings, and movies. Mark also loves reading, working out, snowboarding, and coffee. More than all of that, Mark and Beth have a deep desire to join what Jesus is doing to restore and repair all things. They feel so privileged to be part of the VanChurch story.
Andrew Martin
Youth Minister
Andrew and Aimee Jo Martin have been members of Vancouver Church of Christ in different capacities over the years. They attended as members and volunteers with the youth ministry in the early 2000’s after they were first married, and continued their membership as missionaries serving in Uganda, East Africa (2007 – 2019). They returned to Vancouver from the mission field in early 2020 with five kids in tow.
Andrew enjoys spending time with his family, roasting and drinking coffee, reading, playing and watching sports (especially futbol, YNWA), talking life and philosophy with anyone who will put up with him and creating space for meaningful conversations.
Kara Deal
Children’s Ministry Director
VanChurch has been a home for Kara through many different seasons of life. She grew up at this congregation and as an adult has helped with Mission Trips and Women's Retreats even before her and her family came to be members here in the spring of 2021. Kara is married to Luke and they have four children. Kara enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, kayaking, fussing over her puppy and being involved with Revive Ministries Women's events.

Though relatively new to our staff (starting in May of 2015), Christina is not new to VanChurch. She has been attending here her whole life. She is married to Ben, and they have three boys (Benjamin, Caden, and Nathan).
Christina's interests include Crossfit, fishing, camping, and spending time with her family.
