First Christian Church
Staff & Leaders

Phil Martin
Lead Pastor

There are many things I'm passionate about (my wife's cooking, golf, etc.), but at the top of the list are my faith in Jesus, my love for my wife, Kim, and our two sons and their wives: Kyle & Caitlin and Eric & Hannah, and the joy of serving through preaching, leadership, and equipping others. Through various ministry experiences in Kentucky, Indiana, and and here at FCC, Salem, Illinois, combined with the biblical teaching I received at Kentucky Christian University (BA in Christian Ministry), God has led me to serve alongside a great staff, eldership and congregation for the glory of Jesus Christ and the furthering of His Kingdom.
