Words Matter

Chairman of the Council of Elders, Len Martin, looks to the Bible for instruction on the words that we use, how we use them, and the impact they have on each one of us. Our words can be a footstool to lift people up or a stumbling block for them to trip over. Eternal death and life are in the power of the tongue.

Len Martin was ordained in 1999 and is presently the pastor of the United Church of God congregations in London, KY, Knoxville & Kingsport, TN. Len has previously pastored congregations in Worcester, MA, Seabrook, NH, Cambridge, Columbus, Mansfield, and Dayton, OH.

Len holds undergraduate degrees in engineering and information systems as well as an MBA in Finance. Len and his wife have been raised in the Church of God and have 5 children and 5 grandchildren. They are very thankful for the Biblical truths on marriage, family, child-rearing and many other interpersonal relationships.
