Mark and Tiffany Ivey have been in ministry for over 25 years. They traveled extensively across the US in national evangelism, and in 2001, planted Christ Alive Church in Newton, NC. Mark is originally from Northern Maine, and met his wife Tiffany while ministering in her home area of the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

They passionately believe in the potential of the next generation and intentionally design church to be relevant to those looking not for religion, but a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Their hearts are to pastor and raise up a body of believers who pursue God in every area of their life, and long to see an incredible move of His Spirit across the area that will change it's identity forever.

Tiffany is involved with worship, helping ladies work through life issues, creative design, and has homeschooled all of their children, Ariel, Ashton, and Caymen.

In addition to pastoring, Mark serves on various state leadership teams including helping those who desire to plant new churches.
