Darrell Martin
Head Pastor
Meet our pastor Darrell Martin.
Darrell grew up in Galax VA and lived in a small community for the first ten years of his life before
moving to Meadowview, VA. He grew up in church and has been in church his whole life. His mother was
a minister and his father was a deacon. Darrell states from a young age that he felt the call of God to
reach people with the good news of the Gospel.
Darrell is not only a pastor but is and has always been bi-vocational. In addition to his ministry work he
has worked in manufacturing, quality control and management. He met his wife Dianna at a young age
and the couple, along with others, felt the need to reach out to the unchurched people in the
Meadowview area and minister to them. The church they were a part of at the time did not share the
same vision so they pulled away and started Life Line Ministries.
Darrell’s goal is to always put God first, family second, church third and to just enjoy life. He resides in
Meadowview, VA and enjoys spending time with his lovely wife, his son and daughter-in-law and three
grandsons. His mission for Life Line Ministries is to evangelize and bring the lost to a saving knowledge
of Jesus and then to disciple them to become true followers of Christ.
