Pastor Martin Blanton

Pastor Blanton grew up in the Central Valley of Southern California. He did not come to know Christ as his Savior until after he graduated from Fresno State College in 1966. He then taught in the public school system until 1972. At that time, he sensed the Lord’s leading into full-time Christian ministry. After serving as an administrator for two Christian schools and attending Los Angeles Baptist Theological Seminary, he was called as senior pastor to Vacaville Bible Church. He faithfully served as the senior pastor for 40 years, and celebrated 50 years of ministry in 2026. He continues to serve as an associate pastor. He and his wife, Linda, have four children and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
