My dad, Mark Boyce first came to Tabernacle as a 6th grader to participate in the Awana Olympics. However, it wasn't until 1988 as a junior in college that he and his parents joined Bible Baptist Tabernacle, the ministry that would become foundational in their lives. After graduating from North Carolina State University in 1990, Dad returned to 2900 Walkup Avenue and began teaching science and math. Although he retired from teaching when I was born in 1997, his first and favorite little girl ( JK, Taylor), Dad in no way retired from service to TCS. From the beginning, he was involved in Bible club, eventually heading it up, and his children became his inspiration. We'd tell him what games we liked, what we didn't like, and what we'd like for him to do. He listened to our suggestions, and created an enjoyable way for children to hide God’s word in their hearts.
For as long as I can remember, Dad has followed Pastor Leonard’s advice and not allowed for empty spaces. He always seems to be moving or doing something of value. In fact, always being involved is one of his life’s mottos. I don't remember his ever just sitting and watching us do anything. He has always played a major role...
