Mark & Leslie Dollar: Youth/Worship Team

Welcome to our online resume! May the Lord guide you in all your ways!

I believe that God has divinely put my wife and me together, as a team, to minister to teens. With my ability to minister one on one, counseling skills, love for outdoor sports and radical mission trips, and an emphasis on developing solid relationships with individuals, and with my wife's skill in evangelism to teen girls and women, love for drama, a vibrant personality, a focus on Godly relationships, and a talent to pump-up a group, I feel that we make an inseparable team. Furthermore, we love to worship together and usher in the Holy Spirit with guitar and singing. I am a spirit-filled, solid-out Christian and I do not mince words or tone-down my relationship with Jesus. We are very non-denominational in our beliefs and worship style. So do not let our being in a certain denomination discourage you from taking a closer look at us! We GO WHERE GOD CALLS US! Jesus is my Savior and I want teens fall in love with Him and, in turn, show the world their Savior. We have 3 beautiful little girls: Caroline, age 5, Molly Kate, age 3, and Abigail age 5 months.
