Dr. Mark Wagner has been in full-time ministry for the past 45 years, both as a pastor and as a seminary president.  He loves serving God’s people in the local church.  After all these years he is still excited to focus on Christ’s Great Commission: To Go and Make Disciples.

Critical to his ministry is his Bible-centered teaching and preaching.  He believes that the Bible is the living Word of God and has the power to transform lives. 

Pastor Wagner believes that the Bible leads us to Jesus Christ.  It points to Christ as the way, the truth, and the life.  Salvation comes through Christ only, through grace and by faith. This is the heart of the Good News.

A Bible-centered, Christ-centered ministry brings life change.  Disciples live differently because they love the Savior and want to obey all that He has commanded. While we understand that the church is not perfect – the goal is to love Christ and love others as we follow His leading.

“It is wonderful to see how the church is growing and following Christ.  We love to worship together, study the Word together, and become more like Jesus.  Mt. Tahoma Baptist Church is a great place to experience a church family who loves each other!”

On the home front, Pastor Wagner is an avid reader, racquetball player, and roots for the Mariners and Seahawks. He especially loves to spend time with his wife Sherri. The Wagners have been married 50 years and have been blessed with three children, all married and following Christ.
