About Oakhill
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.
HEBREWS 10:23
Scott Martin, Pastor
Hi and welcome to Oakhill Christian Church! My name is Scott and I consider it one of the greatest honors in my life to be a pastor to God’s people. If you are new to Oakhill, I look forward to meeting you and pursuing the fullness of Christ together!
My wife Kayleigh and I have been married for 9 years. We have two daughters and a son. Kayleigh is a wonderfully gifted mom and home-maker and filled with a passionate love for Jesus and His people. Together we try to lead a simple but adventurous life encouraging each other and helping our children see the glory of God and His gospel every day in some way. Our favorite things to do together usually involve a hike or a park and somehow getting our feet wet and hands muddy. It feels unavoidable at this stage so we embrace it!
In addition to being a husband, father, and pastor, I really enjoy both outdoor and indoor activities, from hunting, fishing, and hiking to playing guitar, writing, and art/creative stuff. In the past I spent several years playing sports and then coaching, so athletics is a big part of my story. Above all, my greatest passion is growing in the grace and knowledge of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and sharing Him with others!
