About the Author

PASTOR MARK ADDIS

Lead Pastor, New Hope Community Church

Mark Addis serves as Lead Pastor at New Hope Community Church in Clovis, California. A former British military cadet who trained with the 29 Commandos of the Royal Artillery, a commercial pilot, and a Moody Bible Institute graduate, Mark didn't come to ministry through the expected door. He spent forty years before realizing God had been trying to get his attention. That journey, from the barracks of Plymouth to the cockpit to the pulpit, is what makes Fit to Serve more than theory. It was tested in the field.

Starting as an elder board member at New Hope, he became Associate Pastor in 2016 and now applies his management background in his pastoral role. Married to Jennifer since 2000, they have three children. Mark is also a Commercial Pilot and former aviation business owner.
