Getting to Know Our Missionaries - Massimo and Susanna Mollica

Mark Tatlock

Prior to being appointed to his full-time role with TMAI, Dr. Tatlock served as Executive Vice President and Provost of The Master’s University. Mark brings 17 years of executive administrative experience to TMAI, and has been active in theological training for cross-cultural ministry within urban and international contexts. He is eager to invest in strengthening TMAI’s development and academic divisions. As a graduate of The Master’s Seminary, he is committed to TMAI’s theological distinctives and the priority of pastoral training. Mark and his wife Lisa have five children: Jacob, Josiah, Hope, Paul, and Olivia. Care for orphans and foster children is an area of personal concern for them both, believing that God would have His people model the amazing picture of the Gospel and of His love that is found in adoption.

Massimo Mollica

Massimo Mollica grew up at Grace Community Church and began serving in youth ministry while in college at UCLA. After graduating, Massimo began working as an engineer, and it was then that the Lord redirected Massimo toward missions and The Master’s Seminary. Upon graduation from TMS in 2009, he and his family were sent by Grace Church to serve as missionaries in Italy, where they were involved in evangelism, church planting, and theological education. Massimo and his family returned to Grace Church in 2025, where Massimo now serves as the Missions Minister, helping lead Grace Ministries International (GMI) and develop new missionaries. Massimo and his wife, Susanna, have four children and serve in the college ministry.
