Authentic Life High School exists to WORSHIP God wholeheartedly, to INVITE students to CONNECT in authentic relationships with God and others, and to learn to GIVE and SERVE

CURRENT SERMON SERIES

This four-week series explores Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Students will find purpose in difficult circumstances, learn to put others first, and discover what it looks like to prioritize what truly matters. 

MEET MARK FILA

Mark is the Pastor of Students and Care at Authentic Life Church.

Mark loves helping people grow in authentic relationships with God and with each other. Whether he’s hanging out with students, walking with someone through a hard season, or celebrating life’s big wins, Mark loves being part of what God is doing in people’s lives. He also tends to bring a lot of energy and joy with him wherever he goes—so consider yourself warned.

Mark is married to Nora (very clearly his better half) and they have two daughters, Elaine and Finley. If Mark isn’t spending time with his family or with students, you’ll probably find him outside somewhere riding a road bike, mountain bike, or some other kind of bike—usually at an altitude where breathing is optional.
