Marc Bartusek, Communications Designer

Jay Maier

Born and raised in the great state of Iowa, Marc grew up only a block from his hometown UMC (Bethel), where he was both baptized and confirmed in his faith. Marc said the only drawback of living so close, "Regardless if it was 110˚F, raining, snowing or in a tornado warning… I walked to church."


In grade school Marc quickly developed a gift (a hint, it wasn’t math) which he was able to develop and grow with the help of an incredible mentor, his high school Art Teacher (O’Brien Tyrrell).  Marc loved creativity and design so much he decided to go into nautical engineering… Gotcha ;-). Graphic Design was actually his career path and he received his AAA degree during the last millennia (yes, it was before computers) and has been working within the design industry ever since.


Fast forward… Marc and his wife Kim, and infant son (Marek) found themselves transported randomly to Jackson, Wisconsin in February of 1997 and along with the addition of a daughter (Sierra) they have been members of Still Waters since (almost) the start and truly love this wonderful caring, grace-filled community of faith. Marc hopes his time as Communications Designer will not only help this congregation visually relate to, and understand our mission, but also touch those who are looking to Find, be Released, and grow in their faith as a Disciple of Jesus.
