ABBY MARTINEZ Administrative Assistant I’m the Administrative Assistant at Cedarbrook, and I’ve been part of the staff since 2021, but my connection to this church goes back nearly 30 years. I’m married with two grown children, Amber and Zach, and I’m a proud grandma to four amazing grandkids: Rowan, Jakob, Logan, and Levi. Outside of work, I love singing, crafting, cooking, and staying active. I even play in two bands, one acoustic and one party band — and I teach crafting workshops when I can. My career journey has taken me from 17 years as a Respiratory Therapist to owning my own business, to taking time off to help raise my grandsons before stepping into my role here. My favorite treat is Key Lime Pie (though I don’t have it often), and my favorite part of my job is getting to work with our pastors, staff, and ministry leads to help build and support the church that has been my home for almost three decades. abby@cedarbrook.org

982fd70a-8188-4453-87aa-3ac5fbce0e9b Follow me: a disciple knows and follows Jesus When we look at the life of Jesus, it is very clear that his mind and his worldview were deeply formed by the Scriptures. As we read the Gospels, we see that he was literate, conversant, and passionate about the Word of God. And he calls his followers to be the same. A disciple of Jesus needs to understand and embrace the essential teachings of the Bible. Each month we will explore an essential doctrine of God’s Word through video and print resources. We hope that you will find these helpful in your discipleship journey.
