Pastor Mark Runyon, alongside his wife Joni, has been faithfully serving in ministry since 1990. As an ordained minister with Grace International, a network of over 1,500 churches, Pastor Mark is passionate about nurturing families, children, and youth. In 2008, God called them to Tooele, Utah, where they joyfully embraced the community and dedicated themselves to reaching the less fortunate. Mark and Joni, along with their three children—Lauren (and her husband Trevor), Joshua, Carly—and their grandsons Samuel and Luke, share in this adventure. Pastor Mark’s heart is to raise up spiritual sons and daughters within the local church, encouraging them to grow and become active, vibrant members of God’s family.

His commitment to mentoring youth is evident in his desire to see them grow into strong, faith-filled leaders. Trevor married his wife Lauren in 2009, and together they serve in ministry at New Life. Lauren is the Family Ministry Director, and they share a beautiful partnership in both life and ministry with their two boys, Samuel and Luke.
