Mark Landes

Mark Landes has been involved in the music ministries at Community of Grace since 1998 and has been a Worship Leader in the house for much of that time. Mark was the worship leader in another Bay Area church for over five years prior to arriving at Community of Grace. Having a strong background in music that dates over thirty years, Mark has always been drawn to music and worship ministries no matter where he is. Most of the time, this involves being up front leading worship on a Sunday morning. However, he also enjoys working in the less visible role of technical director for the church. He would like to someday work as a producer on a worship recording project. One of the areas he feels particularly called to involves the mentoring of younger worship leaders and musicians, helping in their ongoing development in all aspects of leading out in worship.

Mark is committed to the Community of Grace core value of Extravagant Worship and understands the importance of pursuing the presence of God through worship as a way of life. Mark’s prayer is that the modern day church will continue to grow in the area of worship and that through this growth; we (the church) will begin to encounter the Father in new and powerful ways that will create an even greater hunger to enter into His presence. This deeper relationship, developed through worship, will result in transformed lives that change the spiritual climate wherever we go as we become carriers of God’s glory.
