Pastor Marty Russell

I am a PK (Preachers Kid) Ministry, Church and the Word of God has never been a stranger to me. I have been married to my wife Karen for 40 years. We have 3 daughters and son-in-laws, six grandchildren with one on the way. God has truly blessed us.

I have been in ministry for 36 years. I was exhorted in 1989, licensed 1992 ordained in 1997 with the Pentecostal Church of God. Throughout my years of ministry, I have pastored five churches which consist of both established and pioneered churches, served as District Presbyter on three different occasions, and sat on the District Board of the Pentecostal Church of God.

In the summer of 2014 I transferred my license to the Church of God Cleveland, Tn. and became a ordained Bishop. For the last two years have been pastoring Encounter Church of God in Jonesboro, Ar
