CEO's Ministry

A New Season. Same Mission.

CEO Mark Swartley has announced that, effective January 1, 2025, he will be removing his CEO hat to become our CFO (Chief Financial Officer).

The board has appointed Stephanie Gehman, Youth Ministries Director, to become our new CEO on January 1st.

Mark has dedicated 19 years of service to Spruce Lake Ministries and has 38 total years of executive leadership in some form. As CFO, he will monitor this transition while having more time to dedicate to his wife, Jackie, their three adult children and their families, all of whom are asking for their dad’s seasoned entrepreneurial advice for their growing businesses. He will continue serving Spruce Lake Ministries, but in the new roles God has called him to.
