Mr. Marcus Garner
Contemporary Worship Leader and Youth Ministry Director
Masonboro Baptist Church is blessed to have someone as unique as Marcus to lead our contemporary worship services. Marcus plays the guitar, sings, and leads our band with a genuine and kind-hearted spirit. He keeps youth ministry real by focusing not only on knowledge, but on what it means to live the Christian life in today's world. The teenagers are easily able to relate to Marcus's down-to-earth personality and big heart. Marcus enjoys gardening, particularly growing vegetables, as well as cooking and grilling. He also enjoys reading comic books handed down to him from his brother. While Marcus and his wife Leigh are both native Wilmingtonians, he would love to visit New York as well as visit parts of the country west of the Mississippi River. His motto is simple: work hard, live, and love- priorities he says he learned from his mother and grandmother.
Mrs. Donna Garner
Director of Children & Family Ministries
Donna has been an active member of Masonboro Baptist Church for more than 60 years. She has led Vacation Bible School, taught Sunday School, and rocked many infants and toddlers, many who now have families of their own, in our church nursery. After a career working with Day Care Home providers and Day Care Centers participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program, her goal as Director of Children and Family Ministry here at Masonboro is for each child to come to know, love and serve the Lord and to know they will always have a church family to love and support them. She feels it is important for children to have fun while learning and enjoys doing skits, arts and crafts and playing games as part of our lessons. Donna has three children and four granddaughters and enjoys cooking, family dinners and playing tennis.
