Mark Warren
Worship Pastor
Mark Warren joined us in August of 2010 as the Associate Worship Pastor and, in 2025, was named Worship Pastor. He began his worship ministry in 1996 after graduating from Southern Methodist University. Mark's unique and broad experience with leading worship, songwriting, and instrumentals brings a depth of spirit to First Baptist's Music Ministry. Prior to coming to Forney, Mark worked with Saddleback Church in California, LakePointe Rockwall, and others across the country. Mark and his brother Joel are the original founders of Forty Days, a top album-producing Christian band signed to Provident Music Group in 2000 and toured America with Third Day, Mercy Me, Audio Adrenaline, Michael W. Smith and others. They also recorded Awaken, an album to correspond to a movement by the same name to redefine what the church sees as worship. Mark is married to Vanessa. They have two children.
