My areas of responsibility are youth and Christian education, Bible studies, scouts, worship and general pastoral duties. I enjoy working with the wide range of responsibilities and huge diversity of people with which these areas afford me opportunities. I believe that there is a great joy in being a Christian and being involved in Christ Church as we serve God and others. Please contact me if I can be of any service to you.

I have been on staff at Christ Church since 1998 after moving here from Charlotte. From the very first day, I have enjoyed the rich worship life and multifaceted program of this congregation. This is a church I would choose to belong to even if I weren't one of its pastors. I feel fortunate that my three sons are growing up in a church deeply dedicated to making disciples for our Lord Jesus Christ and empowering those disciples to extend the ministry of Christ into all the world.

I am primarily responsible for congregational care, adult education, and communications. I work to help the church communicate the Good News of the Gospel and all that it has to offer to the larger community of Greensboro. I also assist the church in the development of ministries and programs that help adult members grow in their Christian discipleship. One of the things that I enjoy most in my ministry at Christ Church is the role I play helping the church employ the technology of the Information Age in the pursuit of its vision and mission. I believe that the church should make full use of new technology in its worship and programs to communicate the timeless message of Christian faith.

Please contact me if I can help you learn more about this church or about becoming a member of this congregation.  Click here to follow me on Twitter and read my daily thoughts and insights.

My name is Mark Norman Vickers and I am the part-time Pastor of Visitation. My responsibility is to visit and monitor the status of those who are homebound and unable to travel to worship and other church functions. Please understand that this is considered a quarter time position as I hold a full-time chaplain position with Forbis & Dick Funeral Service. I am married to the Reverend Susan Norman Vickers (see above), I enjoy traveling, spending time at home, exercising, reading, and life in general. Please, if there is anything I can do to assist those who are homebound or if you yourself have a homebound need, please contact the church office and ask them to contact me.
