About Dr. Patrick Martin:

Pastor Patrick is a gifted communicator who has a passion to see the world respond to the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ. He feels that this is best accomplished on both the local and global fronts. He believes the church should become a training center that creates disciple-making disciples both in the local community, as well as being an entity that sends its disciples around the world.

Patrick is a Clay County, Florida, native, growing up in Middleburg and graduating from Middleburg High School in 2000. He is also a graduate of the University of North Florida with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, as well as a two-time alum of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary with both a Masters of Divinity and a Doctor of Ministry.

Patrick is married to his best friend, Allie, and they spend their spare time together trying to rein in their longhaired miniature dachshund, Abby. He loves to hunt, fish, and play golf, as well. Patrick is also a pilot, and one of his greatest stress relievers is flying airplanes. 

He is a huge fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Florida Gators, and Atlanta Braves, which, to be honest, is a struggle some days.
