With the retirement of Pastor Hasskarl, the council and congregation decided to implement a team ministry with Dale E. Johnson and a new pastor to be called. The Rev. Stephen F. Yelovich was called in 1982 to be the second pastor and for a year the struggle to make this concept work was carried on.  Pastor Johnson moved to St. Andrew Evangelical Lutheran Church, Muncy, in 1983.  Pastor Yelovich left St. Mark's in 1984.

Pastor Yelovich is a native of Pennsylvania. He was born in Bethlehem, PA. He received his B.A. at Kutztown State University and his M. Divinity at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, PA. He has served churches in Reading, PA, Scranton, PA, Centre Hall, PA, and Garrett County, MD.  He currently serves St. Luke's Lutheran in Cumberland, MD where he has been since 1994.
