Dr. Robert P. Martin was a graduate of The University of Tennessee (Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering) and of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity and Doctor of Philosophy in New Testament). He pastored Emmanuel Reformed Baptist Church, Seatac, WA from 1995 until 2014. Previously he was Dean and Professor of Biblical Theology at Trinity Ministerial Academy, and an elder in Trinity Baptist Church, Montville, New Jersey.

“On February 3, 2016, following a lengthy battle with cancer, Robert was called home by the Savior he loved and proclaimed and longed to see. He left behind his wife, Colleen, and three children, Andrew, Iain-Josiah and Lydia. . . . He also left behind Emmanuel Reformed Baptist Church: brethren whom, for nineteen years, he had loved and labored to see safely to Heaven.” (Lamar Martin in In Service to the Church).

He is greatly missed.
