About Me

Marty Cauley

At twelve years old Marty told his family he would be a writer. Now, thirty-eight years later he is finally living the dream while facing death.

Coming from a low-income home in Raleigh, North Carolina he learned the value of hard work, determination, and getting back up when life knocks you down. From his first job mopping the floor at the local Piggly Wiggly to serving struggling churches he has always thrown himself into everything he has done. His passion for life and desire to invest in others have made him stand out in the communities he has served. 

Fueled by a love for gourmet coffee, North Carolina BBQ, and a desire to make the world a better place, this pastor of a United Methodist congregation, has also traveled the southeastern US as the Director of Ministry with Young People for the Southeastern Jurisdiction, journeyed to Africa to work with orphans who he has raised tens of thousands of dollars to empower, and volunteered in his local community to build homes with Habitat and build community by working with a local low income school. A blogger, speaker, and motivator he uses humor and story telling to engage his audience and help them find hope during difficult times in their lives.

Now Marty is facing the biggest challenge of his life. How to love deeply, live passionately, and listen to God while facing a recent diagnosis with terminal cancer. Dying to Go on Vacation: My first twenty-one days dying is a humorous, and sometimes heart-breaking story of positively dealing with why bad things happen to good people. Look for the book to be released soon. 

The Rev. Dr. Marty Cauley, originally from Raleigh and currently the Director of Coaching and Content for the North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church.  Before moving to Rocky Mount in summer 2009, he served the United Methodist Church as the Director for Ministries with Young People for the Southeastern Jurisdiction where he created, planned, and implemented spiritual formation events for thousands of middle and high school students from across the Southeast and beyond. Dr. Cauley holds the Doctor of Ministry, concentration in Church and Culture, from Columbia Theological Seminary; the Masters of Divinity from the Divinity School at Duke University; and the Bachelor of Science in Social Work from East Carolina University.
