East Coast Believers Church

Pastor Rob was born and raised in Medford, Massachusetts. Rob is a graduate of Rhema Bible Training Center (1998) and DOMATA School of Missions (2000), in Tulsa, Oklahoma. During his time there he volunteered in a variety of capacities from youth and singles ministry to outreach and music ministry. It is there that he met and married his wonderful wife, Rachel.

Together, they relocated to the Orlando area to assist in the pioneering of East Coast Believers Church alongside Pastor Norm and Dina Dubois. Pastor Rob and Rachel have a burning passion for God that fuels their desire to see people born-again, walking in victory in every area of life, and fulfilling their God given destiny. They serve together in many areas of ECBC. Specifically, they direct Connect Groups, Volunteer Ministries, "Operation Backpack", Prayer, and Membership.

Pastor Rob and Rachel are blessed with two young boys, Joseph and Michael. According to Rachel, recreation time is limited with two small sons, but Rob is a devoted New England Patriots fan. He also loves playing the drums.  They are devoted parents and enjoy spending family time together-when Rob just might whip up some of his famous homemade calzones!

Tina Marquis is originally from Huntington, West Virginia. In 2000 she graduated from Oral Roberts University, in Tulsa Oklahoma with BA in elementary education.  Although she was initially employed by a public elementary school in Oklahoma, she sensed that she would soon take her knowledge and passion to teach kids another direction.

Tina, along with her husband Ben, moved to Orlando in December of 2002 with a heart to serve wherever they could to help in the launch of East Coast Believers Church.  After serving over the years in various areas, Tina is ECBC’s children’s pastor while Ben plays a significant role in ECBC’s marketing and outreach.

In ministering to children, Pastor Tina is motivated by her zeal to reach young people with the love of Jesus Christ. She also desires to see children walk in and receive all that God has made available in His Word.

While Tina enjoys jogging, tennis, shopping, and reality t.v., Ben is a "die hard" Red Sox fan and can be found pursuing his interests in all things ‘technology’, as well as politics. They are the proud parents of a young son, Ryan and a Miniature Dachshund, named ‘Lucy’.
