About the Pastor

Halfway through this program, he married his high school sweetheart, Martha, on June 3, 1995.

After Moody, Matt attended Dallas Theological Seminary and earned a Masters in Theology degree with an emphasis on pastoral ministries, which he completed in August 2002. He has served in churches in Cleveland, Chicago, Dallas and more recently he has served in full-time associate pastor positions in Lansing, Michigan and Atlanta, Georgia.

Matt is a member of the Evangelical Theological Society and of the Evangelical Training Association. He also belongs to the American Historical Association and the Organization of American Historians and he is currently working toward his PhD. in History from Georgia State University.

Matt and Martha have four children between the ages of 3 and 14 and are homeschooling them all.
