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
The Lord saved Pastor Shaun in Jacksonville, Florida, where he met his wife Heather and spent the next decade in the Lord's service in various lay ministries. He then moved to Southern California to pursue a Christian education. There, he he continued serving in a couple of 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, he moved to Savannah, GA to help out with a church and became an elder there, also becoming a full-time chaplain at the Chatham County Detention Center through Coastal Jail Ministries of Georgia. After the senior pastor of his church departed in 2015, the church ordained Shaun to the role of senior pastor, where he continued until 2022; through the pandemic until today, he also continues to teach the inmates and visit with them virtually. Living Water Baptist Church extended the call in 2022 for Shaun to come as senior pastor, and he moved to the area in August of 2022.
​
Shaun's been married since 2000 and has five children. Two of his adult children are continuing to live and work on the East Coast, while the other three are with him here. They're excited to see what work the Lord has for them here in feeding the flock of God and reaching the lost for the Lord.
