Emerging Leader
Emerging Leader is our annual All-Church Leadership Summit! It is a two-day gathering focused on accelerating spiritual and practical leadership growth in every person. From those who have never served and are just now asking questions about how to lead, to those who are professional leaders serving for years, this conference is for you!
Emerging Leader has been a favorite gathering point for not only our church family, but also for the Christian leaders in our area.
We’re looking for Photographers, Digital Designers, Painters, Sculptors, & Artists of all mediums to showcase in our Emerging Leader Gallery!
Email your submission to kerry@kchanford.com. Please include a photo of your piece, dimensions and a paragraph about your art.
Pastor Ian Martin was ordained an elder at NC4 in 2021. He is gifted as a teacher, evangelist, and artist. His passion is to make the truth beautifully plain, speaking with a prophetic edge to call the church to its mission and the world to its Redeemer. Born in Bethlehem, PA, Ian grew up as a missionary kid in Spain and the UK, living in a community and discipling recovering addicts in the ministry of Betel International. After serving as NC4’s Macungie Campus Pastor since 2019, Ian was installed as Lead Pastor of NC4 in 2022.
Educated in the UK, Ian holds a BA in Hispanic Studies from University College London, a Certificate in Theological and Pastoral Studies from the University of Oxford, a Diploma in Audio Engineering from SAE Institute, London, and an MA in History of Christianity from the University of Birmingham.
Ian and his wife Celina have both previously worked in ministry in the UK, Spain and the Czech Republic. They have two young daughters, Epifanía and Zoa-Perisa, and a Hungarian Vizsla, Aston. Together they geek out on music, books, food and culture.
