Mark was an airline mechanic for 18 years and holds a Missouri real estate license. In addition to student ministry, some of Mark's interests include sports--go figure. Mark is an avid softball player playing in over 100 games a year. He has also led the Vineyard men's softball team to numerous championships. Mark also loves football and just about anything else competitive. Lately, he has been fine tuning his ninja skills--just kidding. Mark's favorite vacation spot is Waikiki Beach.
Brady Testorff
Senior High and Young Adult Pastor
Brady Testorff is our Senior High and Young Adult Pastor. Brady grew up in Yates Center, KS, and ended up in the Platte City area in 1988. He spent 10 years working at American Airlines in customer service at KCI. After volunteering as a Young Life leader for a few years, he accepted a call to full time student ministry at the First Baptist Church in Platte City, and was on staff there as an Associate Pastor for almost 15 years. He brings with him an abundance of ministry experience, from mission trips, to camps, weddings, funerals, preaching, teaching, and just doing life with young people... Brady comes with gifts in the form of his beautiful family: his wife Trish of 18.5 years, his oldest daughter Bailee-21, their two adopted children from Peru, Yessenia-19 and Paul-16, Emma-16 and Eliza-13. Brady's favorite sport is basketball and he can still throw a pig skin a quarter mile. His favorite quote is, "I am just a nobody tryin to tell everybody 'bout Somebody who can save anybody" and his favorite verse is Acts 20:24.
