  • chris martin - elder

    I serve as an elder at Hope, a Family Gathering leader and often preach at the Hope Sunday Rally. I have been married to my smart and smokin' hot wife Kristen for 8 years and we have three children - Trey, Emery, and Ezra.

    • Favorite Food - Steak and potatoes
    • Hobbies - Basketball, sports, reading and writing
    • Why Ministry? - One of my favorite sayings is "learn to light a candle before you scream at the darkness". I truly believe that through Jesus Christ and the power of the Gospel people can be changed. This must be proclaimed and lived out. I believe God chose this weak sinful man to do so. That's how I light that candle.
