It’s hard to define who Timothy Mark is. He is a singer. He is a songwriter. He is an author, preacher and a conference speaker. But if you ask him to define himself he will tell you that he is simply a communicator. And he will use whatever it takes to get the message across.

For Timothy Mark, the passion of his life is to communicate what it means to be in a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. “My heart is broken over the state of the church in North America today” says Mark. “The vast majority of our churches are declining in membership. Yet all around us people are searching for answers in their lives. They are looking for a real relationship while the church is going through the motions of being religious. I believe God has his hand on my life to call the church in North America to be the church He intended her to be. That is the passion of my life.”

Timothy Mark brings to the ministry a desire for the audience to experience genuine relationship with God. Mark leads an audience to the place where they realize a growing relationship with God is the only thing that will fill the emptiness in their lives. Songs such as “What if There’s a God?” and “The Church across the Street” reach out to the individuals in the Christian community with a call to live out what they say they believe.

Timothy Mark was born into a Pastor's home in the spring of 1965 in the little town of North Adams, Michigan. Growing up in the church meant many opportunities to be involved and it was there that he developed his love for music and ministry. Since 1988, Mark has ministered across the United States as a soloist and speaker bringing with him experience as a member of the Coronation Brass for two years and also the Master's Men for two years, both of Tennessee Temple University. That year Mark released his first custom recording, Sentimental Christmas, and began to develop the ministry. Today, through Mark's involvement with overseas missions and a thriving internet presence, the non-profit organization has grown into an international ministry.

As a former part-time Minister of Worship at a local church, Mark understands the unique needs of Pastors who are looking to bring in a minister for an event. “It is always a challenge to present worship and ministry in a relevant, ministry oriented way.” says Mark. “I've been privileged to present this ministry in large and small churches, military bases, and camps across the United States as well as internationally. I have found one common denominator wherever I have gone. People need God. And because I also need God I find there is an understanding between myself and an audience. It says ‘I know how it feels to long for a relationship with God. And this is how I have found Him to abundantly meet the needs in my life’.”

Mark’s newest CD release “What I Believe” is one of the tools he uses to communicate that truth. The CD production was completed in early 2005 and has been received with high acclaim for its lyrical depth and musical production. Previous projects include The Nature of Love, an instrumental album which showcases his piano artistry and focuses on the love relationship we have with God. The Missing Part album, another previous release, features Timothy's song writing talent and vocals with songs that are encouraging and uplifting. The website also features free downloads of several of his messages.

In a culture where the business of Christian music often eclipses the ministry aspect, Mark stands out for his commitment to influence over income. All of the ministry events are booked on a simple offering basis and the CDs are made available through the events on a donation only basis. His music and messages are even available for free download from the ministry’s web site at www.timothymark.com. “What makes it so exciting” says Mark, “is being able to have a far reaching influence on the body of Christ. I get emails from folks around the world who are being ministered to through the free downloads on the web site. That’s worth more to me than any royalty I could receive for charging for the music or messages.”

In a world searching for the truth, Timothy Mark has something to say. And people are listening.
