Pastor Mark Biel - Lead Pastor
My wife, Pam, and I have been leading Rock of Grace Family Ministries since 1992. We have experienced many changes at Rock of Grace in the course of the past 19 years, but one thing has remained constant: God is faithful. We have found that to be true in our personal lives, as well. We were called into full-time ministry in 1982. In preparation, I attended Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, graduating in the spring of 1985. We began leading a church in Ruskin, Florida in July of that same year. In the spring of 1992 we were called to Rock of Grace. Rock of Grace is a rural church in northeast Ohio, whose influence reaches a community-at-large with the love of Jesus... READ MORE
Pastor Jordan Biel - Worship & Media Pastor
I was called into full-time ministry at youth camp when I was 12. I knew I would only be happy serving Jesus Christ. By the time I finished high school, it was confirmed that I was called to youth and worship ministries. After graduation, I helped plant a church called The Well in Geneva, IL. I went to Brownsville Revival School of Ministry (B.R.S.M) in Pensacola, FL. There I interned with President Richard Crisco and Pastor Tony Hooper and co-produced two worship CD’s and graduated with AA degrees in Pastoral Ministry and Worship Ministry. I was the youth and worship pastor here for 6 and 1/2 years and God moved us out of the youth position into more of a traveling role in Aug. of 2010. I still serve as the worship and media/tech pastor. God’s love has driven me to experience His presence every chance I can. We’ve just released a new CD, Into Your Presence and an instrumental prayer album, Intimacy. For more information, visit www.JordanBiel.com READ MORE
Pastor Mary Prior - Outreach Ministries Pastor
I have had the wonderful privilege to serve on staff at Rock of Grace Family Ministries since January 2004. At that time I was actively pursuing my pastoral credentials through a distance study program, Berean School of the Bible . In 2005, I was credentialed and since then have served as the pastor of out-reach ministries. It is exciting to be on staff at a growing, Spirit-filled church, as every week becomes a new adventure in the Lord. Rock of Grace has been my “home” for many years; long before I came on staff. It is a blessing to have the opportunity to serve God here among family and friends. In addition to ministry here at “the Rock,” God has opened many doors for me to travel and serve in various churches... READ MORE
Pastor Dan McConnell - Youth Pastor
I became a member of the Rock of Grace staff in August 2010, and it's been an awesome privilege to come back to my home church to serve. I have a definite passion for youth ministry at Rock of Grace, as it was the same youth ministry I was a part of as a student. I attended Southeastern University in Lakeland, FL where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Practical Theology. If you have any other questions; feel free to ask! READ MORE
