Marlowe Parks
District Pastor
Marlowe Parks serves as the pastor of Abundant Life SDA Church, 3 Angels Ghanaian SDA Company, and Oklahoma International SDA Church. Since 2011, he has been dedicated to full-time ministry, first as a lay evangelist and later as a Volunteer Pastor in the Southwest Region Conference. His journey has taken him to serve both in the United States and overseas, bringing the gospel message to diverse communities.
Marlowe’s call to ministry began when he first encountered the Seventh-day Adventist message, an experience so transformative that he couldn't imagine doing anything else. His favorite Bible passage, Hebrews 13:20-21, reflects his deep desire to do God’s will, allowing the Lord to work through him in ways that are pleasing in His sight.
Having grown up without parents, Marlowe’s faith journey is a testament to his dependence on God as his Heavenly Father. This relationship with God continues to shape his ministry, as he recognizes that he will always need the guidance of his Creator. His life of faith and service embodies a spirit of trust and surrender to God’s leading.
In his free time, Marlowe enjoys exercising, maintaining a balance between his spiritual and physical well-being. His love for avocados reflects his simple yet healthy approach to life, much like the wisdom and strength he brings to his ministry. His passion is clear—he lives to serve, spreading the good news of salvation and pointing others to the everlasting covenant of Christ.
