Meet the Minister

Greetings! My name is Mark Lawrence and I am the minister here at Market Drayton Methodist Church, as well as at Ashley.

I am married to Carolyn (pictured with me) and we are very much a team, working in leadership together. We have two married daughters, three gorgeous grandchildren and two cats! We both have a passion for the great commission of Jesus in Matthew 28:20, and seek to share the love of Jesus as well as to help people to grow in their faith wherever they are on their Christian journey.

In his spare time Mark enjoys running, cycling and is a transport enthusiast, especially railways and aviation. He also has a bus drivers’ licence. Together with Carolyn they enjoy taking time out walking and relaxing with family and friends over a good meal!

If you do have any questions or want to know more about Jesus and the amazing churches here, do get in touch.

Services

We welcome visitors and would love to have you join us in one of our church services.

We have a service every Sunday at 10.30am where we meet together to worship God. Music is a big thing at MDMC, with our songs being led by a band, or the organ, but always with a deep love of Jesus! Junior Church also meets every Sunday morning, except for when we are ‘All In’ together, once a month for a family service. We also have regular monthly services and midweek meetings. See the ‘Worship’ page to find out more about our different services.
