Meet Our Pastor
In 1992, Bro. Mark Lacks answered God's call to preach while serving as an active member of Straight Mountain Baptist Church. Throughout his 40 plus years of membership in the church, he had the privilege of serving as an adult Sunday school teacher, song director, and treasurer. He continued his journey in the ministry as the youth minister at Park Avenue Baptist Church for three years. He and Kathy, his wife of 23 years, creatively direct Vacation Bible Schools each summer. Kathy is the Executive Director at Blount County Sav-A-Life and finds joy in helping young parents and babies get the physical and spiritual care they need. Bro. Mark and Kathy were called to join Lakeview Baptist Church where he was ordained and became the Associate Pastor in January of 2017. In October of 2020, he was called to serve as Pastor by the church. Expounding on his love for the Word of God, Bro. Mark is an online student at Clear Creek Baptist Bible College. He and Kathy have raised four children, Sadie (Matthew), Kayla (Tommy), Chelsea (Eric), and Dylan. They have nine beautiful grandchildren and enjoy yearly camping trips to the Great Smoky Mountains.
