Mark Hand

Elder

Mark plays a vital role as an elder at C3, originating from Coffeyville, Kansas. He and his wife, Nikki, share a history of growing up together and attending the same church, eventually tying the knot in 1993. They are blessed with two children: Zack, who serves as a youth minister, and Mikayla, a professional counselor.

Since 2006, Mark has dedicated his full-time efforts to CIY, currently as the Vice President of Business Strategies. He holds a Bachelor's in Business Administration from Pittsburg State University and certifications as a Certified Management Accountant and in Strategic and Competitive Analysis. Within C3, Mark leads a life group, serves at the C3 cafe, and teaches at Station 4.19 once a month, alongside occasional Bible study electives. Having been part of C3 since 1998, Mark ascended to the role of elder in 2011, where he diligently tends to the spiritual needs of the congregation.

Beyond his commitments, Mark's passions extend to supporting the Chiefs, Oklahoma State, basketball, and he enjoys woodworking. On Sunday mornings, you might catch Mark at the C3 cafe, in the atrium, or casually wandering the halls, embodying the warmth and camaraderie of the community.
