Meet our pastor!

Since 2015, Kevin Martin has been our Pastor here at Heritage Baptist Church. Kevin and his wife Jennifer have two children, Kendal and Nathan. Kevin has a passion for Star Wars, video games, hunting, preaching, and sharing the good news of Jesus!

Kevin’s preaching is Christ centered, Holy Spirit led and easily understood. His delivery style is practical with an ability to go in depth when needed. He often says “I always preach to myself, before I ever preach to anyone else.” He’s never met a stranger and will challenge you to become more personal in your walk with Jesus.
He also likes the occasional surprise honey bun under the pulpit. If you decide to bring him one, he’ll definitely smile and say “Thank You!”

Time to renew…..
Well, another year has come to a close. For me, 2019 was a difficult year. For most of the year, I cared for my father during his final stages of life. I must admit, there were moments when I felt lik…
A Christmas Story
Growing up an only child, it wasn’t very difficult to determine which gifts under the tree belonged to me. The obvious answer was, all of them. Even knowing this, the anticipation of Christmas m…
Rescue Me….
Sometimes the deep water of life brings us to a point of drowning. We drown in fear, worry or anxiety. We become so overwhelmed with circumstance that we forget just who we are. We are God’s chi…

Went and sat with Dad this morning. He asked me how it was looking. By it, he wanted to know what the doctors have told me. I told him that looks can be deceiving and to know that even as death approa…
