Dr. Mark Bowman was raised in the outskirts of West Atlanta: Powder Springs / Marietta areas. Both of my parents worked for Lockheed Aircraft Corporation for forty years. I attended McEachern High School. Attended the University of West Georgia to receive a B.A. in Psychology / Criminology, an M.Ed. in Counseling, and an Ed.S. in Counseling. After receiving a call to pastor, I attended New Orleans Baptist Theology Seminary for my M.Div. degree and later attended Trinity Theological Seminary for a Ph.D. in Biblical Counseling. I am married to Linda Bowman. She is from Franklin, TN. Linda was a Lactation Specialist and retired Jan. of 2025. We have two sons. One is married and they are traveling the United States and our youngest son is single and currently works for Amazon in Clarksville, TN. For the past 22 years I served as a Pastor at Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, TN and provided Biblical Counseling for both members and non-members of the Memphis area. I provided over 18,000 hours of care to those I counseled during those 22 years while serving as a pastor. Prior to coming on to the Bellevue staff, I completed four units of C.P.E. (Clinical Pastoral Education) at Emory University in Atlanta and Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, TN. My passion is found in serving the Lord and sharing the Gospel. I enjoy fly-fishing, formula one racing, and discipling men in their relationship with Christ. I also love to travel to the Navajo Nation and provide Substance Abuse Training and Suicide Prevention classes in the Gallup and Shiprock areas of New Mexico.
