Our Pastor
Mark Oprzedek and his wife Laura with their daughters
Pastor Oprzedek (Ope-shen-dek) grew up in the Chicago suburbs, married his best friend in 2009, and then moved to Texas, where their four daughters were born. For eleven years he was the assistant pastor at Trinity Baptist in Arlington, Texas. Fall of 2021 saw the Oprzedek family move to Kansas to start Capitol City Baptist Church of Topeka. Pastor Oprzedek is a mixture of Midwestern efficiency and Southern hospitality. He craves quality (and coffee) and lives life with intention, knowing that God reserves His best for those who give Him their best. His desire for Capitol City Baptist is to build a spiritually healthy church by prioritizing spiritually healthy homes and families.
