Foundation is a Bible Study that consists of students and young professionals. We meet on Fridays, 7:00-9:00 pm in the Tower Basement at Grace Community Church. A typical meeting includes music, a message, discussion, and fellowship. We encourage our members to participate in weekly small groups, bi-monthly community groups, community evangelism, and a variety of ministry opportunities that take place throughout the week.

Mark grew up in Russia until 1990, when his family immigrated to Los Angeles and joined Grace Community Church. Having grown up at Grace, it was natural for him to prepare for ministry at The Master's Seminary, where he earned his M.Div. and Th.M. degrees. In 2017, Mark earned his Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh. Mark joined the church staff in 2007 and currently serves in church administration and leads the young professionals ministry, Foundation.
Joe was born in Russia, but in 1990 his family immigrated to the U.S. and joined Grace Community Church soon after. In his pursuit of education, Joe earned a B.A. in English and Russian literature, an M.Div. in Bible, a Th.M. in Old Testament, and a Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible. In 2016, Joe became an associate professor of Old Testament at The Master’s Seminary, teaching Hebrew and Aramaic as well as exegesis courses, such as “The Messiah in the Old Testament.” At Grace Church, he serves in Foundation Bible study on Fridays and in the Sojourners fellowship group on Sunday mornings.
