PASTOR
Pastor Mark Landess
Pastor Mark moved to Colorado Springs with his wife Lori in 1983 to become the church's associate pastor. After the close of the previous pastor’s ministry, Mark was asked to be the church pastor. His ministry at the church is characterized by a commitment to expositional teaching and preaching. After years of supporting “pro-life” ministries, Pastor Mark and associate pastor Chris Gaona realized some of the “pro-life” ministries were not that “pro-life.” God sovereignly crossed their paths with Colorado Life Initiative and Got-A-Heart Ministries. In 2024, Pastor Mark was asked by Faye Barnhart to become part of the Pastor’s for Life team to assist with Biblical direction.
PASTOR
Chris Gaona
Pastor Chris and his wife, Christa have been a part of Nor’wood Bible Church since October of 1999. They have served the church in varying capacities as lay ministers, until January 2020, when Pastor Chris came on staff as an Associate Pastor. Through the challenges and lessons learned by going through COVID in 2020, God brought about a passion for seeing all of life under the authority of Christ, prompting a desire to be more engaged in the community and culture. By God’s sovereign hand, He brought about a connection with the Colorado Life Initiative, and as a result, Pastor Chris’s involvement in Pastor’s for Life.
