Our Story

Mark Buckley has been following Jesus since 1970. He was active in the Jesus Movement and established churches in Northern California with the Open Door Commission. Mark and his wife Kristina have been married since 1973. They have had four children and four grandchildren. They moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 and planted Living Streams Church in their living room. Living Streams grew and flourished and helped plant churches in Arizona, Belize and Mexico.

Mark is a writer, a radio host and a pastor to pastors. He is based out of Living Streams, and speaks at many churches, retreats and conferences. He helped establish Grace Association and Pastors in Covenant which both provide forums where pastors and leaders can meet for prayer, fellowship and encouragement. Mark believes local churches bear better fruit when they are led by healthy pastors. He works with pastors who need wisdom and counsel to strengthen their churches, ministries and marriages.
