ST. MACARY

Marvin St. Macary’s life is a masterful tapestry of transformation, woven with creativity, resilience, and an unwavering sense of purpose. From the heart of the entertainment industry to the pulpit, his journey stands as a testament to the power of divine calling and the relentless pursuit of excellence in every endeavor.

A graduate of Fordham University at Lincoln Center, Marvin earned a Bachelor’s degree in Theater Arts and African American Studies. As a sophomore, Marvin secured a coveted internship at Bad Boy Entertainment and Arista Records, working in the executive offices of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. This rare opportunity immersed him in the fast-paced world of music, fashion, and event production, granting him invaluable insights into high-level business operations.

His trajectory continued its rise when he joined Naa’ila Entertainment, serving as Executive Assistant to the legendary director Hype Williams. Quickly ascending to Assistant Producer, Marvin played a key role in the production of groundbreaking music videos for global superstars such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Beyoncé.

Yet, in 2006, amid the flashing lights, Marvin experienced a profound spiritual awakening—a divine call that led him to exchange the entertainment industry for full-time ministry. Relocating to Lynchburg, Virginia, he became part of Ramp Church International, where his dedication to faith, leadership, and community impact flourished.

By 2012, Marvin was ordained as a Deacon under One Way Churches International, and by 2014, he was elevated to the office of Elder. That same year, under the leadership of Bishop S.Y. Younger, he was installed as the Executive Pastor of Ramp Church International—a role in which he has faithfully served for over a decade.

Renowned for his ability to cultivate leaders and impart profound biblical insights, Marvin bridges deep theological truths with practical application, empowering individuals to grow spiritually, personally, and professionally.

Yet, he never abandoned his artistic roots. As Executive Pastor, Marvin seamlessly integrated the arts with ministry, writing, directing, and starring in The Witness—a theatrical production inspired by William Seymour and the Azusa Street Revival

Never one to remain stagnant, Marvin expanded his leadership into entrepreneurial and real estate ventures. Recently earning an MBA in Marketing from Liberty University, he now oversees Ramp Church’s daily ministries and business operations, playing a pivotal role in advancing its vision.

Beyond ministry and business, Marvin is a creative force in his own right. He is the founder of M. Saint Photography and co-owner of The Saint Collection, a streetwear brand built alongside his wife, Ashley, and their daughter, Gabrielle. More than just fashion, The Saint Collection is a movement—blending faith, culture, and creative expression.

Marvin is also a highly sought-after life skills speaker, equipping thousands of high school students with the tools they need to navigate the transition into successful adulthood. With a dynamic and relatable approach, he empowers young minds with practical wisdom, real-world strategies, and invaluable life lessons, helping them step confidently into their futures.

In April 2024, Marvin added the title of author to his impressive résumé with the release of Face to Face: Conversations with My Younger Self. Co-written with four friends, this deeply personal and thought-provoking book explores faith, destiny, and self-discovery, offering readers a reflective journey through life’s defining moments.

Marvin St. Macary is more than a pastor, entrepreneur, and creative—he is a visionary, a bridge between worlds, and a living testament to the transformative power of faith and purpose. From Hollywood to the pulpit, from music videos to ministry, his journey is one of relentless pursuit, divine alignment, and a commitment to inspiring generations to come.
