One of our staff members here at ANC is Brandon Martel. Brandon was born and raised in Sudbury and has been a part of the ANC staff since 2019, when he took on the position of communications director. He took on the website, social media and marketing for the church. Brandon likes to use business principles to help further God’s mission. In March 2020, he took on another position at the church as the youth pastor. What brought Brandon to ANC was the youth group, The Core. He heard about it from some friends and knew he needed to know what all the fun was about. The Core group made him feel welcomed and accepted, so he has been at ANC since. Brandon’s youth responsibilities include forming relationships with youth and partnering with their families. What Brandon loves most about his job is connecting with students who may not have many role models in their life. Outside of work, Brandon enjoys reading and learning new things. He also has a very active social life.
Brandon is married to ANC’s children’s ministry director Julia Martel . Brandon recently completed his masters in business administration at Laurentian University and is looking forward to applying to the Masters of Theological Studies program at Tyndale University for fall 2023. Brandon’s favourite scripture is Timothy 6:11-12 “But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.“
