Author of The Problem of God. Pastor of Village Church Vancouver. In May he filled the room — on July 19 he's preaching again, then staying for a live, unscripted Q&A over snacks and coffee. Bring the question you've never been allowed to ask in church.

Mark Clark planted Village Church in Vancouver, BC — one of the most secular cities in North America — and grew it into a thriving multi-site community by refusing to dodge the hard questions. His book The Problem of God takes on suffering, science, hell, hypocrisy, and Jesus' resurrection with the kind of intellectual honesty Silicon Valley actually respects.
One Sunday. One sermon. Then the mic turns around. Plan your morning around it.
Pull into the lot at 2670 El Camino Real, grab a real coffee, find a seat. Hue Kids check-in opens at 10:15 for ages 0–11.
Worship, then Mark on whatever big question he chooses to walk us through. He preaches without notes, without filler, and without dodging the parts that hurt.
The part you can't get on YouTube. Mark stays after the service and takes questions from the room — unscripted, unfiltered, no pre-screening. Ask about suffering, science, doubt, deconstruction, AI, anything. Drop your question in the form below and we'll make sure it gets asked.
If church usually feels too easy on the hard stuff — July 19 is for you.
You've read Hitchens. You've watched the Hawking documentaries. You're not looking for slogans — you want a thinker who's done the work. Mark has.
Maybe the church you grew up in didn't survive your questions. Mark planted a church for exactly this — somewhere honest enough to hold both grief and hope.
You believe — and you're tired of shallow Sundays. Bring your friends. Watch Mark engage the questions you've been answering badly for years.
"When Mark preached here in May, the room was full and the conversations afterward went long. So we asked him to come back and do the thing he does best — take your questions live. July 19 is the Sunday to bring that friend you've been wanting to invite."
Mark Clark is the founding pastor of Village Church in Vancouver, BC and the author of The Problem of God — a widely-read book on Christian apologetics that engages the toughest objections to faith. He preaches with rigor and warmth, especially to skeptics and thinkers.
Sunday, July 19, 2026 at 10:30 AM. One Sunday only. Doors open at 10:00 AM. Hue.Church meets at 2670 El Camino Real, Santa Clara.
Right after the service — around 11:45 AM — Mark stays in the room and takes live questions over snacks and coffee. You can raise your hand, or drop your question in the Save Your Seat form ahead of time and we'll get it asked for you. Nothing is pre-screened and nothing is off-limits.
Yes. Suffering, science, hell, hypocrisy, deconstruction, AI, why God feels silent — Mark wrote a whole book engaging the hardest objections to faith. The questions most churches avoid are the ones he came for.
No tickets, no charge. Just show up. We strongly recommend filling out the Save Your Seat form so we can hold a seat for you — last guest preachers have filled the room.
No. Mark's entire ministry is built for people wrestling with the hard questions — skeptics, seekers, deconstructors, lifelong believers. There's a seat for you no matter where you're starting from.
Yes — we'll post it on our YouTube channel within a week. But there's no replacement for being in the room.
Yes. Hue Kids runs during the full Sunday service for ages 0–11. Safe, fun, age-appropriate. Check-in opens at 10:15 AM.
