Mark Batterson
Lead Pastor
![Mark Batterson Mark Batterson, Lead Pastor](https://national.cc/assets/uploads/staff/web-res-NCC_Headshots_Sept22-107.jpg)
Mark was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and grew up in Naperville, Illinois.
Mark went to the University of Chicago on scholarship playing basketball and majoring in pre-law. After a prayer walk through a cow pasture, he felt called to full time ministry and ended up at Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. That's the short story. Mark also holds a Doctor of Ministry from Regent University. He is the author of 24 books including his first published title, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day and The Circle Maker, a New York Times Bestseller.
Mark and his wife, Lora, moved to Washington, DC, in 1994 to direct an inner-city ministry. He has served as Lead Pastor of National Community Church since 1996. Under his leadership, NCC has grown from a core group of 19 people to one church with multiple locations.
Mark and Lora live on Capitol Hill and have three children: Parker, Summer, and Josiah.

Anthony Stewart
Facilities Engineer
Growing up in the DMV area playing sports and going to school, Anthony has always had a love of working with his hands. He went to Towson University to become a business student realizing that wasn’t the fit for him. He saw the chance to work in IT after college. Being in that field and able to help others was such a blessing. He saw how much joy that brought him. His wife and he started in a small group and fell in love with NCC. Now, being able to work in the church while doing something he loves, he couldn’t pass. It's a great chance to grow in spirit and talent.
