About me

Thanks for stopping by!

My name is Kevin Martineau and I am the Pastor at Port Hardy Baptist Church on Northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia.  I have been pastoring here since June of 2002.  I am married to my best friend, Lauren,: and I have three beautiful daughters: Bethany, Sydney and Mallory. Some of my favourite things to do are: golfing, hot dog roasts at the beach with my family, walking, reading, blogging and watching hockey.

On August 8th, 2007 I entered the vast world called blogging.  I had just come back from a 3 month forced sabbatical (i.e. medical leave) and I knew that I had a big journey ahead of me (and I still do!) I started this blog as an outlet to help me process everything that I was learning.

I like to blog about what God is teaching me and whatever else happens to be upon my mind. I like to write about issues relating to christian living, books that I am reading, blogging and a host of other issues.  To make sure you don’t miss my newest posts, you can subscribe via RSS.
