Pastors Mark and Eve Ropiecki are passionate about raising up a generation of young people who know who they are in Christ, understand the transforming power of God’s love, and confidently recognize their ability to make a difference in the world around them.
Pastor Mark is a respected leader both within United With Christ and throughout the local business community. Known for his wisdom, genuine relationships, and heart for connecting people, he has been instrumental in creating opportunities that extend Kingdom influence beyond the walls of the church. He is also the creative mind behind the beloved Pastors’ Roast and the reigning champion of the men's soup-making contest!
Pastor Eve serves as UWC’s Women’s Ministry Director and Worship Director. A gifted worship leader, songwriter, and dynamic speaker, Eve communicates revelation with boldness, clarity, and a deep love for people. Her heart for unity, purity, Kingdom order, and helping others recognize their identity in Christ is evident in every area of her ministry.
Together, Mark and Eve are raising three incredible future Kingdom generals: Jackson, Scarlett, and Savannah. Their love for family and passion for the next generation are at the heart of their ministry.
As the leaders of United Youth, Mark and Eve are committed to cultivating a community where students feel welcomed, valued, loved, and empowered to grow in their faith. United Youth is more than a weekly gathering. It is a place for young people to build authentic friendships, encounter the truth of God's Word, discover their gifts, and grow in their relationship with Him.
With a heart for discipleship and equipping the next generation, Mark and Eve are building and investing in a team of leaders who share their passion for seeing young people thrive. Together, they are creating an environment where students are genuinely loved, encouraged, mentored, and equipped to confidently express Christ in their everyday lives.
Their vision is to see young people do more than simply attend church. They want students to understand their identity, recognize their God-given influence, develop meaningful relationships, and become active participants in advancing His Kingdom in their schools, homes, friendships, and communities.
Above all, Mark and Eve believe that young people aren't just the future of the Church. They are a vital and influential part of the Church right now.
