Our LEADERS
Pastors Rich and Janet Markeson
Rich and Janet have always had a heart to see Tucson restored to the Father.
In the early 2000’s, God called them away from Tucson to Raleigh, North Carolina, where Rich served as an elder at Christian Life Fellowship Church for the better part of a decade. In 2014, Rich, Janet, and their four children were commissioned back to Tucson to plant Verge Church. Rich and Janet continue to serve the body of Christ faithfully today.
Our STORY
In the Summer of 2014, Pastors Rich and Janet, with their family, moved to Tucson to begin seeking The Lord about the planting of a Spirit-filled church. In October of 2014, Verge Church began with a baptism service. During that first gathering, The Holy Spirit touched those attending, resulting in several salvations and re-dedications. This initial gathering was the spring-board to the beginning of a move of God that is currently underway today. We desire to take this move of God into our city and see others know the Lord in a supernatural way that will change their lives forever.
