Mark and Patti Virkler have co-authored 50+ books. Their writings are unique in that they are designed to draw the learner into revelation-based learning.

They met while at Roberts Wesleyan College in North Chili, N.Y. and married during their third year. Before they graduated, both experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit, becoming Charismatic and wholly committed to the Spirit-filled lifestyle. They graduated in 1974, Patti graduating magna cum laude.

Mark has received a Master of Theology from Miami Christian University and a Ph.D. from Carolina Christian University. He has also been included in “Who’s Who in the World” many years since 2000, and “Who’s Who in American Education” in 2006. Patti has received a Master of Ministry and Doctorate of Ministry from Vision International University.

Their focus has never been on degrees, but simply growing to maturity in the Lord. Degrees are viewed as incidental accomplishments and signposts along the road of life which can sometimes open up people’s hearts and minds to hear, listen and learn what they have to share.

They have two children, Charity and Joshua. Patti homeschooled both of them from kindergarten to 12th grade, after which they went on to earn degrees through Christian Leadership University, of which Mark is the founder and President and Patti is the Academic Dean.

The Women’s Ministry team is excited to invite you to our 7-week Bible study with The Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer. Every day, an invisible war rages around you. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you. But he always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God is an action plan for developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.

You can choose to be a part of the morning session at 9:30 a.m. or the evening session at 6:45 p.m. every Tuesday from February 1–March 15. March 22 is a snow makeup day.

Childcare will only be provided during the morning sessions. No childcare is provided for the evening sessions. 

Morning childcare will be in Kingdom Kids classrooms, and each child will need to be checked in. Childcare is for infants through age 11. Please register your child by their name and date of birth for the age group they will be by February 1.

We believe that water baptism is a public declaration of three important things: you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are beginning a changed life in Christ, and you are part of a new family. Find out more about baptism here.
