My friend Mark Acker is one of the most amazing church musicians in the country. Mark spent a huge part of his career directing the music ministry at Brentwood UMC near Nashville, TN. During those years, he built and sustained quite possibly the strongest youth choir program anywhere. Mark is now Minister of Worship and Music at PHUMC. Jim Maase, another great church musician, is their Director of Music and Arts. These two share duties at the organ and in front of the choir. The choir is very strong, and worship at PHUMC is carefully planned and well-executed.
Mark is so humble and sincere. I'm not quite sure he realizes how much of an impact his life and his ministry have made in church music over the years. To be able to call him a dear friend is an added bonus for me. Thank you Mark, and thank you Jim....for allowing me to sing in your choir and to visit with you and learn from you. God bless you both.

I remember Mark. He was at Brentwood when we were there with S&L. I remember falling on my face off a step right in front of him. Sounds like your journey is just what you wanted so far. Travel safe.
