Nancy was born in Missouri and raised in California. Mark was born in California and raised in Missouri. Both of us have earned our master's degrees and Mark is working on a second master's degree from Liberty University. We have spent the last 15 years in Nevada as church planters. We now believe that the Lord is leading us to Minnesota in order to start another church. Our hope is to find partners like you that will help us establish this work. Just as it takes years to see a juvenile eagle develop its coloring (see below) it will take years to see Eagles Nest Baptist Church fully developed. We hope that you will prayerfully consider joining us in this new opportunity and adventure. We need you and pledge to you our commitment to establish a nesting and nurturing community of committed Christians that will touch Breezy Point and beyond!

Juvenile Eagle Perched on Nest
Many new bird watchers mistake juvenile bald eagles for other species. Juveniles start with a very dark body (including head, tail, beak and eyes) and variable white mottling on their armpits, wing lining and sometimes undertail. They don't get their well-known adult coloring until they are four or five years old. Bald eagles are sometimes thought to actually be bald. This is not true; their head, neck and tail are covered by white feathers. The word bald is derived from balde, an old English word that means white.
