Clergy

​​The Rev. Andrea Martin arrived in Saline to become Holy Faith’s Pastor in June 2017. Prior to her ministry here she has served parishes in Virginia, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C. Additionally, she ran the Martin Household for a few years, some would say her most challenging position yet. She earned her M.Div. from Yale Divinity School in 2002 and studied theology and pre-professional (pre-med) studies at the University of Notre Dame. She is married to Christopher Martin, and they have two children, 4 year old Blaise and 6-month old Augusta.
 
As Pastor, Andrea is responsible for the administrative and spiritual oversight of the church, especially worship. When not at Holy Faith, Andrea loves cooking, reading, biking, and spending time with her family. She dreams of completing a long-distance bike trip in the not-too-distant future. She hopes to help her 4 year old son fulfill his quest to find the best bowling alley and the tastiest pizza in greater Saline.

Deacon Don Dersnah has been with Holy Faith since September 2009.  A graduate of the Whitaker School of Theology, he was ordained a deacon in 1997. Don has previously served at St. Clare's Episcopal Church in Ann Arbor and St. John's Episcopal Church in Howell.

Don met his wife Tish while they were attending the University of Michigan. As Saline residents, they enjoy being with family and like to travel to destinations around Michigan, visiting lighthouses and bed-and-breakfasts.

A caring and compassionate listener, Don is available for pastoral care, counseling and visitations.
