About

A Sojourner’s Creed

I belong to Christ.
My time and my life are His.
He directs the moments and the activities of my days.
He is the counselor whose wisdom I follow.
He is the model for how I live,
and the audience I seek to please.
He has called me to worship Him.
He has gifted me to serve Him.
I belong to Christ,
and I will live for Him today and forever. 

Marty Schoenleber has been a pastor, a church planter, a seminary professor, and an author but his favorite role is as husband and father. These days he a prolific blogger and missional strategist as the Director of ST. JOHN’S STUDY CENTER in Mundelein, IL and Millersburg, IN. In his blog he attempts to be “provocatively opinionated.“

In addition, he teaches Church Planting at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and trains church planters around the world in partnership with Dynamic Church Planting International (DCPI).  When he is not engaged in these activities he is either rooting for a Philadelphia sports team or mentoring church planters. Occasionally, he sleeps.
