About Phil Martin

God gave me godly parents who taught and lived out the Scriptures that made me wise for salvation that is through faith which is in Christ Jesus. By God's grace I realized my sinfulness and called out to him at the age of five. Since then God has been faithfully working to complete the good work He began in me." On staff since 2007, Phil works to teach, encourage, and help the saints at TBC to become conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ and equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to serve Him effectively. He is married to Donna, and has three children. Colossians three is one of his favorite chapters.
