About Us

Senior Pastor Mark and Brooke Lamb
Pastor Mark’s journey into ministry began when he got saved at 16 years old. Through Gods divine plan, Mark had already met a young woman by the name of Brooke who would eventually be his wife just four weeks before his conversion. Brooke, Pastor Craig Shelton’s daughter, moved from the east coast as a missionary family to the Native Americans. Pastor Mark and Brooke met in Mark’s father’s school, Needles Assembly of God Christian School.

After Pastor Mark’s radical life-altering experience with the Lord, he followed the call to pastoral ministry. This began with him working in Needles Assembly of God as a youth leader, leading Bible studies and youth events. Over time, Mark took on the role of youth pastor and worship leader. He was passionate about revival and God’s will to manifest in the lives of the young people in his community.

Eventually, God led Pastor Mark to Calvary Chapel Bible College where he attended with his, then fiancé, Brooke. Between his studies, he was still actively assisting other pastors and youth pastors in the area by guest speaking and playing music. Brooke was equally involved in ministry as she assisted her father and mother on the Reservation and Calvary Chapel Mohave where she served in the Pregnancy Care Center, worship team and leading Youth Bible studies.

After Pastor Mark graduated, he and Brooke continued in ministry together, assisting one another and eventually marrying in March 2017.

Though twelve years have passed since God’s call to ministry, Pastor Mark has stayed committed to seeing God’s plan unfold in his own life with his first ministry being his family. He and Brooke are now parents to three beautiful children: Sarah Grace, Malayna Lyn and David Judah.

Pastor Mark’s passion and heart for his brothers and sisters in Christ is to be a gateway for discipleship and equipping them for the work of the ministry.

It was because of this passion he and Brooke pioneered a fellowship called Beacon of Mohave. They faithfully served in this ministry for three years until merging with The Word Christian Church.
