In 2005 he stepped into the Lead Pastor role at The Bridge Church in Bristol, Tennessee where he pastored for 7 years.

In the spring of 2015 Haworth First Assembly of God was looking for a new Lead Pastor.

Pastor Mark “My Mom sent me a text saying Haworth First Assembly is looking for a Pastor. When I saw the text my heart soared within me, I felt a peace and destiny and I responded with a big “Yes!!!” it was as if at that moment I was saying yes to Jesus, “Yes I am willing lead this church if you want me too.” In the days ahead I knew God had a plan and was bringing me full circle back to where I had first felt the call of God to be a Pastor as young boy in Haworth.”

On July 5th 2015 Pastor Mark and Julie Davidson became the new Lead Pastors of HFA.
