Pastor Montreal D. Martin is a native of Racine, WI. The Challenges and hardships he faced as an adolescent causes his heart to break for the oppressed, those who are considered to be the “least” and to individuals who are “left out” and pushed to the margins of society. He is a firm believer that the community is his congregation.

Pastor Martin was given the opportunity to further his education by completing his undergraduate degree from the American Baptist College in Nashville, TN; where he earned a dual Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biblical Studies and Sociology with a minor in Christian Education.

He later matriculated at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC. While there, he was elected as President of ABS (Association of Black Seminarians) and served two consecutive terms on Student Council. Through the partnership of a local non-profit, he organized on-campus hot meals to seminary students on Fridays due to the refectory being closed. Further, while attending seminary, Pastor Martin served as Associate Pastor of Community Outreach and Engagement at Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church of the Baltimore-Washington Conference. Reverend Montreal earned his Master of Arts Degree with a specialization in Pastoral Care and Counseling.
