Senior Pastor Darryl & Lori Martin
Having been born into a heritage of Christians and ministers; at the age of seven Pastor Darryl accepted Christ and soon began sensing the call of God on his life. It was 8 years later that the dreamed was replaced with a Word from the Lord and he knew from that moment on that his life’s purpose was to win souls and one day pastor. For the next few years Darryl spent countless hours witnessing door to door, street preaching, leading youth groups and traveling with a college ministry.
After starting their first church in1988, he and Lori have yet to take their hand off the plow. They love the ministry and especially the wonderful people God has allowed them to shepherd.
Pastor’s ministry strengths may be most visible in his ability to communicate the Word of God in a relevant way, his humorous and down to earth delivery, and his straight forward no compromise approach to the truth. If he believes it,
he’s likely to say it, (seasoned with love of course). Another key element of Pastor’s ministry is his determination to stay clear of fads and issues of earthly importance. He is a preacher of the Word, not psychology, science, literature, or anything other than the bible. He stands firm on the assertion that “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” And “The Word of God is sharper than any two edged sword, able to divide asunder between soul and spirit, bone and marrow . And is a discerner of the intents of the heart.”
Pastor Darryl attended Southwestern Assembly of God Bible College, Christ For the Nations Institute, and Clarion School of Ministry. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Psychology and a Master's of Theology.
Presently, he teaches at the local Teen Challenge, offers counseling of all kinds, minister’s in spiritual deliverance, and operates in the prophetic as the Lord leads. In addition he leads this growing and exciting church.
