About Fr. Marc
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Fr. McDonald has lived all over the country including: Ohio, Michigan, California, Oklahoma, Kansas and Arizona (Tucson, Prescott, Bullhead City, Glendale, and currently, Flagstaff). The son of a Nazarene minister, Fr. McDonald came to know early the love of God. God’s call led Fr. McDonald to serve in The United Methodist tradition as a pastor for just over 19 years. But sometimes God’s call takes a circuitous route. Through epiphanies of God’s grace, he and his family have found a new spiritual home in The Episcopal Church, coming full-circle to a call that he had originally felt in 1990.
He met his wife, Linda, at MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas. A life-long Kansan, Linda was born and raised in Meade, Kansas. They were married in 1993, and in 2004 were blessed with their daughter, Sarah.
Fr. McDonald graduated from MidAmerica Nazarene University (Olathe, KS) and received a Master of Divinity from Phillips Theological Seminary (Tulsa, OK). He has served in full-time ministry since 1994, pastoring churches in Ohio, Kansas and Arizona. Fr. McDonald also served as chaplain at Flagstaff Medical Center in Flagstaff, Arizona. He received a call to be the full-time Rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in January of 2017 and began his ministry there in April of that year.
Fr. McDonald is the President of the Lyon County Ministerial Alliance, serves on the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas Board of Trustees, Commission on Ministry, and is the Diocesan Ecumenical Officer. He also is Chaplain to Emporia State Universities Canterbury Campus Ministry.
In his spare time, Fr. McDonald enjoys spending time with his family, playing with their Havanese rescue puppy, Dezi, collecting religious icons / crosses, traveling, walking/hiking, movies/ theatre, listening to good music and studying Anglican history, theology, and spirituality.
