Our Leadership Team
Sam Martin, D.Min.
Senior Pastor
Sam was raised in Laramie, Wyoming, and came to faith in Christ as a young child. During his third year in the Navy, he sensed a clear calling and giftedness toward pastoral ministry. He married his wife, Erin, in 2003, and together they have four children: Cody, Cali, Kirby, and Killian.
After completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Wyoming, Sam earned a Master’s in Church Ministry from Shepherd’s Theological Seminary. He served for several years as the Assistant Pastor at Laramie Valley Chapel before the Lord stirred in him a desire to pursue church planting through a trade. In 2015, he attended barber school in Salt Lake City and later opened a barbershop in Laramie.
In 2017, a church‑planting team formed, and Sam moved his family to St. George to start a barbershop and help establish a new church. Through the partnership of four other men and their families, Red Mesa Fellowship was planted. Zion Bible Church began in 2024 as a daughter church of Red Mesa Fellowship. Sam earned his Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) from Gateway Seminary in December 2024.
Seth Minton
Elder
Seth came to faith in Jesus Christ in 2010 while attending the University of Wyoming in Laramie, where he also met his wife, Brittany. They are blessed with four children: Brynlee, Gracie, David, and Madeleine.
After completing his undergraduate studies, Seth earned an M.A. in Church Ministry from Shepherds Theological Seminary, deepening his understanding of God’s Word and his desire to serve the church. He later pursued a career in medicine, graduating from Pacific Northwest University and completing his OB‑GYN residency in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
Seth currently serves as the Medical Director of Abortion Pill Reversal at The Well Pregnancy Resource Center, providing compassionate, life‑affirming care to women in need. He also serves as a clinical preceptor at Rocky Vista University (RVU) School of Medicine and as the Campus Advisor for the Christian Medical and Dental Association (CMDA) chapter at RVU.
He is passionate about helping people experience lasting transformation through biblical community, discipleship, and accountability.
Rin Jenkins
Elder
Rin and his wife, Jamie, have been married since 2008 and are blessed with five children: Jordyn, Kylee, Kyndal, Bryce, and Elias. Originally from Cedar City, Utah, they moved to Des Moines, Iowa, shortly after high school before returning to Southern Utah in 2018.
Rin’s vocational path has included truck driving, owning an auto‑detailing business, and, most recently, barbering—a trade he pursued after graduating from barber school in 2024. He views his work as a barber as a unique opportunity for evangelism, using everyday conversations to connect with people and share the love of Christ.
Saved as a teenager, Rin has a deep passion for God’s Word and a desire to help others grow in their knowledge of the Lord and walk faithfully with Him. After meeting Sam Martin and joining Red Mesa Fellowship, he served as a deacon before becoming part of the church‑planting team that established Zion Bible Church in St. George. He now serves as an elder, seeking to faithfully shepherd and care for the body of Christ.
