Hi, my name is Ben Martin and I'm the District Superintendent of the Statesboro District in the South Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church.  I grew up in Lyons, Georgia and I've spend the last twenty-two years as a pastor in local churches in SGA (Brewton Charge, Vidalia FUMC Associate, Wrens UMC, and Springfield UMC).  I'm a graduate of Mercer University (BA Economics), Candler School of Theology at Emory University (MDiv), and Erskine Theological Seminary (DMin).
    My wife Susan and I have been married for 26 years and we have three beautiful daughers, Katie Knight,23 (married to Sly), Courtney 19, and Callie 15.  I enjoy exercise, golf, books, and sports of all kinds.
