Meet Dr. Mark Grawehr
Mark Grawehr began work in the construction trade in 1971, incorporated his first business in 1978, and in 1979 completed a B.S. degree with honors in mechanical engineering from Newark College of Engineering. He carries multiple construction credentials and trade licenses, and is a licensed professional engineer in several states.
Under Grawehr’s leadership his Trimech Corporation became a renowned engineering, construction, facilities operations and service company. In 2001, recognizing the synergy offered through a formal affiliation with an even larger corporation, he sold Trimech and enabled it to become part of a fortune 500 company. Mark continued to operate the business as company president and senior vice president of the parent company until transitioning to full time ministry in May, 2006.

Just after Mark married in 1979, his wife Debbie was severely stricken with MS. Within about a year they were drawn to faith in Jesus Christ thru this trial and then became involved in disability ministry. Debbie was paralyzed, legally blind, and unable to speak for the duration of almost their entire marriage before passing away at the age of thirty-eight in February 1996.
Mark has served in various church and parachurch ministries in both fiduciary and pastoral capacities of leadership since 1987. He is an ordained graduate of Alliance Theological Seminary. He also has earned a Doctorate in theological studies form Masters International School of Divinity. Mark’s ongoing entrepreneurial endeavors enable him to serve freely as he pursues his life mission–to make a significant difference in the advancement of God’s Kingdom through effective, Christ-centered leadership.
Today Pastor Mark and his wife Becky are the parents of two homeschooled daughters. They live in New Jersey.
