After years helping with Kidzchurch, young people’s ministries and music, Martin joined council in 2025. He has been in Trinity Church since 2001, and before Trinity he was a member of seven significantly different churches, due to moving home around England and The Netherlands. Martin is kept busy and entertained by his two teenage daughters, works at ASML in Veldhoven, and loves to do creative projects. Examples of these are songwriting (find “Martin K Rae” on online music platforms), writing on faith (first book is also beta-testing in 2025), and drama. Martin has been excited about the potential for Jesus’ teaching and lifestyle since his late teens. He suspects God got him to work as an engineer so that he’d learn to add practicality to that excitement.
