I had the privilege of serving as Senior Pastor here at Arvada Covenant Church from 2003 to 2017, when I stepped into retirement. At the invitation of Pastors Jodi and Brian, I now have the opportunity to keep a hand in ministry by assisting them in the pastoral care side of the church. The Evangelical Covenant Church was new to me when I was called to serve the small Covenant congregation in Montclair, NJ, in 1979. Since then, I have served congregations in Lafayette, Indiana and here in Arvada.
My wife, Diane, and I have lived here in Arvada since 2003, and we love being a part of this community. We have two grown children and two grandsons who live in California.
If you would like to contact me, you can do so through my email account here at church ( jmartz@arvadacovenant.org) or by calling the church office.
