Randy Marquis-Children's Pastor
Marci Marquis-Minister of Music

We are Pastors Randy and Marci Marquis. We met at church in Wichita, Ks. when we were 9 and 11. We grew up together and have now been married for 17 years. Randy and Marci both attended Mid America Nazarene College (now University) in Olathe, Ks. and Marci graduated from Friends University in 1996.
We had been serving in the church in the areas of children’s and music ministries and both felt God’s call on our lives to serve Him in a full-time capacity. Just two days after Marci graduated, we received the call to come to Arlington to serve and minister with the wonderful Arlington First family.
The Lord has since blessed us with two terrific daughters. Meleah is 10 and Morgan is 7. Randy is a HUGE fan of Nascar and loves hangin’ out with his girls. He has a passion for seeing kids come to Christ.
Marci enjoys digital scrap-booking and she is finishing up her studies in preparation for ordination as a deacon in the Church of the Nazarene in the spring of 2009. In music ministry, she is believes in passion over performance.
We have come to know and love this family we call Arlington First.
