Meet Matt
Youth Leader
In college I was involved in a campus ministry and felt a calling to pursue ministry full time.
My passion is to teach students who Jesus is and help them navigate how to live a devoted life to Christ while navigating everyday struggle with school, hardships, etc.
I'm from a small town in Missouri, Hannibal. I graduated college from Missouri State University where I was heavily involved in a campus ministry.
I'm excited to be apart of this new church family. I enjoy reading, talking sports, I'm a movie buff, and enjoy spending time with friends and family
