Meet Our Leadership
Scripture tells us how the leadership of the local church should be, not the corporate world. This means that a local church should be led by a plurality (Acts 20:17) of pastor/elders (Titus 1:5), qualified for leadership by the grace of Jesus Christ and in accordance with the requirements given by the apostles (1 Timothy 3:1–13).
Therefore all of our leaders are not just in authority, but under it as well. Jesus Christ is the Chief Shepherd (1 Peter 5:4) of Living Water Baptist Church, the senior leader to whom all of our leaders will give an account (Hebrews 13:17).
Pastor-Teacher Shaun Marksbury
& Family
Pastor Shaun's spiritual life began when the Lord saved his soul in Jacksonville, Florida, where he met his wonderful wife, Heather! For the next decade, they dedicated their lives to the Lord's service in various lay ministries. They then ventured to Southern California so Shaun could further his Christian education. There, he continued to joyfully serve in churches while earning a Bachelors in Christian Ministries at The Master's College/ University in 2008 and a Masters in Divinity at The Master's Seminary in 2012.
​​
In 2013, the Marksbury family returned to the South, embracing a call in Savannah, GA to help out with a church, with Shaun stepping into an elder role there. He also became a full-time chaplain at the Chatham County Detention Center. When the senior pastor of their church departed in 2015, the church ordained Shaun to the role of senior pastor, a role he embraced until 2022, all while continuing to teach and visit with inmates. In 2022, Living Water Baptist Church extended the exciting call in 2022 for Shaun to come as senior pastor, and he moved to the area in August of 2022.

Happily married since 2000, Shaun is the proud father of children. Three of his adult children are thriving on the East Coast, while the other two are homeschooling with four playful dogs making noise! A black belt in Tang Soo Do, Shaun is working toward another one with his daughter in Taekwondo. Also while not busy with ministry, you can find him lost in a good book or exploring the great outdoors!
