Pastor Mark Latham

I have been the pastor at Amazing Grace since January 2003.   This has brought many blessings and challenges.   With our recent relocation into north Tacoma, we have been meeting new neighbors and have begun to minister to their needs.   God has truly blessed this effort.   Praise God for His attention to our nurture and growth! I have a deep and abiding love for Jesus Christ.   It is my passion to lead people into even deeper relationships with our Lord and Savior through ministry and teaching.   My ministry style is relaxed yet I challenge people to pursue their faith to the best of their ability. I am an MDiv student at Northwest Baptist Seminary which is in Tacoma.   I am in my fourth year, it looks like it will take me about five years to move through this program, Lord willing.   I suppose my biggest struggle has been balancing time for family, school and church. Our goal as a church is to truly become a part of the neighborhood.   In other words, we want to be good neighbors as God would have us to be.   We pray that God will continue to guide us in this.   Family & youth ministry has been my passion for many years.   Just recently we began "Engage in Life", a youth/young adults gathering that stresses the practical application of Biblical principals in everyday life.   We hosted our first ever VBS last summer, "Make a Joyful Noise".   This became possible because of our lovely new location.   And our guitar classes continue on in their sixth year with the largest youth participation ever.   We are thankful to Sherman Elementary School staff for helping to get the word out.   Thank you Vicki! I have a lovely wife, Tresa and three children, Heather, Damon and Albert, and one grandchild, Anthony.   Family photos are problematic with the Lathams.   We have left many a photographer in tears (laughter?) because we clown around a lot.   I did find one photo that is not too bad. This, however, is our normal demeanor in front of a camera ... sigh. all for His glory,
