Our Speakers

Our congregation has one primary preacher and two assistant preachers. They are:

Abe Martin

Abe Martin is the son of a very talented Gospel preacher, his father Abe Martin the II. Abe is well educated in scripture and has an excellent understanding of God’s Word and how it applies to man. Whether by sermon or by study, Abe’s love for the church and the Bible is clearly visible. If you have a question on salvation, the role of a Christian, what we should and should not be doing in our lives, Abe knows the place to find the answers in the Bible. If he can’t answer your question, he will help you find it – together.

Abe had previously worked with the congregation at Bath Road in Huber Heights. After retiring from his job in Dayton, Abe and his wife Linda have been working with the Wayensville congregation full-time. Until they are able to sell their home in Huber, and get the new house completed in Waynesville, they are regularly commuting the distance. Lots of gas!

Austin Mobley

Austin recently relocated from Zanesville, OH after the passing of his wife. Austin is still a very energetic and charismatic preacher and teacher. Many local members may recall him working with the church at Knollwood for years, or at other area congregations. Both Austin and his son Gary have both been preaching the gospel for many years, and are very knowledgeable in the truth.

Roger Starnes

Roger has been a member of the church at Waynesville since 1998. While a student in the subject of speaking and teaching, Roger tries to provide informative studies of God’s Word by taking a personal look at God, His will, and how we humans need to grow before Him.

Roger attended the Northridge church of Christ in north Dayton from childhood with his family of 7. Then, upon graduating art school in Kettering, Ohio, he shared an apartment with a college buddy and began attending as a full-time member at the Kettering church of Christ. There, he took on many more active roles in the work of the church.

Following his membership at Kettering, he and his wife moved to Waynesville, where he became a member there. Since that time, he has been making an effort to help the congregation in the Waynesville, Ohio area.
