Our Team
Pastoral Leadership
Reverend Mark Swanson is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary (ThM) where he also planted a church in downtown Dallas as an outreach to spiritually disaffected youth. He then served as the Director of Community Ministries as the pastor to the poor and marginalized at All Angels’ Church for nearly ten years, followed by an equally long stretch at a pastorate in Vancouver, British Columbia. Mark also serves as a Spiritual Director. He grew up in central New Jersey and is a dual citizen of the United States and Canada. He loves to hike, have good conversation over coffee, and is rather unsuccessfully trying his hand at fly-fishing.
Staff
Debbie Ocheltree joined our team in September of 2019 as our part-time office administrator, though she is not new to CBC. Debbie attends Woman to Woman Bible study and has been friends with several CBCers for years. She is an active member of the First Baptist Church of Tarrytown where she teaches Kids Church, serves at the senior luncheons, and hosts small group Bible studies in her home.
Eli Policarpio was born and saved through God’s-help (both physically and spiritually), hence he proudly bears the name Eliezer “God is my help”. He loves to work and serve his family, and considers CBC as his second family and home. Eli and his wife, Venus, have two children.
Kevin Mazariegos serves as the Youth Leader at CBC, passionately guiding young people in their faith journey. With a heart for discipleship, he creates a dynamic and supportive environment where teens can grow in their relationship with Christ, build strong friendships, and engage in service to others. Through engaging Bible studies, fun activities, and meaningful discussions, Kevin is dedicated to helping the next generation discover their purpose in Christ and develop a faith that lasts.
Elders
