Meet Mark Bjorlo

Traverse City Lead Pastor

I’m Mark Bjorlo and I serve as the Lead Pastor at Kensington Traverse City. My wife, Elizabeth, and I have been married since 1992, and we have five kids who make life full and fun. We love doing life and ministry together and being part of a community that feels like family.

I believe the church is both imperfect and powerful—imperfect because it’s made up of people like us, and powerful because Jesus is at work transforming lives every day. My heart is to help people encounter Him in real ways and take meaningful steps in their faith. I’m so glad you’re here, and I look forward to meeting you.

Plan Your Visit

No need to expect the unexpected – here’s everything you want to know before your first visit to Traverse City campus.
CURRENT SERIES

This fall, we’re beginning a journey through the book of Ephesians to discover what it truly means to be Fully Alive. Before Paul tells us how to live, he reminds us who we are. Together we’ll explore God’s eternal purpose and discover that our identity isn’t found in what we’ve done, but in what God has done for us.

What Does It Mean To Be On The Team?

We are grateful for you and your decision to be a part of the Hope Water Project community! Together, we can change lives!

We are here to support you and encourage you through the process; whether you are a walker, a runner, a cyclist, a volunteer or “outside the box” fundraiser – you are moving out and we appreciate
you!

YOU are changing lives! As a team, we come together to train, to volunteer and to support and encourage one another. We participate in events through the year and we raise awareness of the need for clean water. Your fundraising helps to build wells that impact the lives of the Pokot.

So your next step depends on what you want to do and how you want to step out!

A great first step is to join our mailing list to stay up to date on all our events and opportunities to jump in!

Next, visit our events page for upcoming opportunities to jump in. Sign up’s will be made available as we get closer to event dates and will be posted on the event page and emailed to our community.

And most important, setup your fundraising page! Whether you walk, run, cycle or volunteer – everyone can participate in fundraising.

And last, connect with us. Follow us on social media and join us on our mission to provide clean water!
