Rebecca grew up in the DFW area before moving to Lubbock where she met her husband. Rebecca and Charles have been married since 2018. Charles graduated from Texas Tech and works as a Senior Electrical Engineer here in DFW. Rebecca has been the Youth and College & Young Adult pastor at Northside since January 2021. Before that they lived and worked in Lubbock and Amarillo. Since moving to DFW we welcomed in our first son, Baby Charles, and the youth at Northside have adopted him as their mascot. Rebecca feels fortunate to be working her dream job while also getting to attend church with her family. Her parents and sister both attend Northside along with her three nieces. We love spending time with family, going to the gym, and watching football together as a family. We love Fort Worth and all of our people at Northside!

Mark Lofton
Lay Pastor
Mark grew up in a pastor's home, so he moved around a lot. If you ask him where he is from you'll get: "I was born in Kermit, Texas but lived in New Mexico, Mississippi, Arizona, Arkansas and Tennessee. I got back to Texas as soon as I could!" While living in Tennessee Mark attended Trevecca Nazarene University where he met Sonya. They married in 1989 and moved to the DFW area for Mark's job with American Airlines. Mark felt called to the ministry at 25 years old and has been a minister for 30 years. Mark and Sonya have three adult children: Nic, Bethany and Zac. Mark has a heart for ministering to others, especially seniors. He enjoys their fellowship and is encouraged by all of their wisdom and life-long experiences.
