Resources
My purpose for this site is to provide churches, leaders, and families with biblical solutions for life’s problems. Here, you will find helpful articles and links to questions that you might have concerning the Church and our families. The Bible teaches us that we are to pursue holiness, therefore, these articles are to equip and edify the reader.

About
Hi! My name is Matt Martin. I am originally from Yazoo City, MS. My wife and I met at Mississippi College and we were married in 2006! We have two daughters and one son who are very precious to us. I attended The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and graduated with a
Master’s in Divinity in May 2012. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary. My major is Biblical Counseling and I’m minoring in New Testament and Theology.
In 2013, God called my family to Ovett, MS. In the community of Whitfield, I pastor County Line Baptist Church. Over the past three years, my family has truly been blessed by the wonderful people of the community.
