About: Rev. Dr. Martin Kreplin

I have been serving Christ in partnership with this congregation since 1999, and it continues to be a joy! I am the Lead Pastor, or Senior Minister, but prefer to be addressed informally as “Martin.” I’ve been married since 1981, Our three children, Sarah, Matthew and Jonathan are independent adults and continue to be a joy to us. As a family we have hosted 13 Rotary International Exchange Students over the years, and have travelled to visit some or to host families of our children who have all been exchange students.
I was born in Burlington, Ontario, graduated with a BA from University of Waterloo; an M.Div. from Knox College, University of Toronto; and an D.Min. from Fuller Theological Seminary. My Doctorate work was in the area of renewing established congregations. I was the founding Pastor of Unionville Presbyterian Church, Unionville Ontario; served in Renfrew Presbyterian Church in the Ottawa Valley for thirteen years prior to coming to Moncton in 1999. Atlantic Canada has become my adopted home.
Besides my congregational responsibilities, I have been on the Board of Directors of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (www.evangelicalfellowship.ca), as well as the Advisory Board of The Greater Moncton Homelessness Steering Committee, and the Life and Mission Agency of The Presbyterian Church In Canada, and convened a committee of The Presbytery Of New Brunswick. I have always been involved in ministerial or evangelical fellowships, often providing key leadership, and continue to seek to be an encouragement to other leaders.
