Pastoral Staff

Jon Mark & Jessie Parrish

Senior Pastor & First Lady
Pastor Jon Mark and Sis. Jessie Parrish, parents of 6, are devoted to leading TPC Darden into a life that truly is closer to God, both with leading by example as well as living a Spirit-filled life. At TPC Darden, they strive to teach the congregation to live by this motto: LOVE + SEEK + SERVE = REACH.
Pastor Jon Mark Parrish's vision for TPC Darden is a direct revelation from God: the four walls of TPC Darden are not big enough for what God wants to do in our community. Pastor Jon Mark expects TPC Darden to be an apostolic hub of God's spirit for the surrounding communities to witness and experience.
Of course there are not many great men of God without a great woman, and First Lady Sis. Jessie is no exception. From keeping events coordinated, to ministering to the church, Sis. Jessie is a blessing to our church in more ways than one.

Ronnie & Karen Parrish

Church Bishop
Bishop Ronnie Parrish and Sis. Karen Parrish, parents of 3, led TPC Darden as Senior Pastor for 30 years. Under their leadership, TPC Darden experienced growth and revival like never before. Without them, TPC Darden would not be where it is today.
Bishop Ronnie Parrish has dedicated his life to ministering the word of God, and has a special heart for the lost. There are many testimonies of how God used him to minister to the lost, and we are thankful for his desire for soul winning.
