Marc Dreyer – Senior Pastor

Marc Dreyer was born in Washington D.C. in 1946. Shortly thereafter his family moved to Kansas City, Mo where he was raised in a Roman Catholic home. Marc attended catholic grade school and then attended and graduated from Rockhurst High School, an all male Jesuit college preparatory school in Kansas City. He attended the University of Missouri for two years when he dropped out of school and went to work for the Federal government. When he was 21 years old he became a federal agent for the US Justice Department in what is known today as DEA. During this time he went back to college graduating from Wichita State University with a degree in Criminal Justice. In 1969, influenced by his fiance’ B.K. (Betty Kathleen) he began attending a Baptist church where he professed his faith in Christ and was baptized 2 months before their marriage. Marc and B.K. adopted 3 girls from Korea. Two of the girls are married and have given them two grandchildren.

In 1977 God called Marc out of the Justice department and into the ministry. This dramatic change in their lives resulted in him attending Midwestern seminary in Kansas City where he graduated with a Masters in 1980 and a Doctorate in 1984. Memorial is the third church that Marc has pastored since he started in Hardin Missouri in 1977 where he stayed for 4 years. He was then called to Sterling Acres church in Kansas City in 1981 where he served for 12 years. In 1993 he, B.K. and the girls moved to Tulsa where he became the fifth Senior Pastor to serve Memorial Baptist church. In addition to his Justice Department and ministry time, Marc worked at UPS for 4 years during his oldest daughters time in college. He has also been an elected member of a local Board of Education in Kansas City, served both police and hospital chaplaincies, taught as an adjunct professor at Midwestern Baptist Seminary and served a term on the Oklahoma Pardon and Paroled Board.
