Mark Tidsworth

Mark launched Pinnacle in 2008, after starting and developing the Center for Clergy & Congregations in South Carolina’s Baptist Healthcare System. Developing the Pinnacle Team since has been a great joy, expanding Pinnacle’s ministry in terms of services and geographical reach. Serving in various vocational roles (pastor, new church developer, interim pastor, renewal pastor, therapist, nonprofit director, business owner, leadership coach, congregational consultant, leadership trainer, author) prepared Mark for leading Pinnacle into its various expressions. Ordained in the Baptist Tradition, Mark now serves through the Church at large.

Mark’s direct service continues to be driven by a keen curiosity about the intersection of faith, church, and 21st century living. At this point, you will find Mark doing presentations, providing trainings, coaching, and creating content. Mark is a frequent presenter in clergy gatherings and denominational gatherings. Mark resides in Chapin, South Carolina.

You are welcome to contact Mark about presenting at your church or event. You can get a sense of Mark’s engaging presenting style through videos on this website and on the Pinnacle Leadership Associates Youtube Channel.
