Claran Martin

Regional Minister (Part-Time)

Claran serves part-time in the Grey-Bruce Region of Ontario. In this role, he seeks to care for church leaders and coaches them to intentionally live on mission with Jesus. Before joining the EMCC National Team, Claran pastored in three diverse church gatherings: Lion's Head, Pamerston and Hanover over a span of 27 years.  

He enjoys connecting with pastors and church leaders as they seek to figure out what it means to follow Jesus in their present context. He gets passionate about raising up younger leaders who will lead the EMCC into God's preferred future.  

Claran married Adriana in 1980 and God has blessed them with four children, who have now grown into adults. His children are spread across Canada living in Kelowna, BC; Steinbach, MB; and Wainfleet, ON. He enjoys learning about the ways, words and works of Jesus, leadership and new technology. Since he is now “mostly retired”, he has been traveling more to invest into the lives of his thirteen grandchildren.
