Volunteer Mentor | Athlete | Faith Leader A Message From Greg Hi, my name is Greg Marmo, and I’m a senior at George Washington University, where I play Division I baseball. I grew up attending church with my family, but it wasn’t until I got to college that I began to explore what it truly meant to have a personal relationship with Christ. Away from home, I started reading the Bible on my own, attending church intentionally, and seeking truth for myself. That journey led me to a peace I had never experienced before—and I made the decision to fully commit my life to Christ. Since then, I’ve focused on sharing that faith with others through community involvement. I started the Marmo Family Bible Study and helped grow our Baseball Team Bible Study to over 15 players—more than half our team. Additionally, I’ve taken on faith-led leadership roles by mentoring youth, encouraging others in their walk with God, and supporting the prison ministries team. I am excited to collaborate with volunteers and board members to help people of all ages discover real truth and lasting peace through Jesus.
