Quick Facts on Matt

• Grew up Presbyterian, attended a Baptist Seminary and has worked in an Episcopalian Church. (Buy me lunch and I’ll tell you the whole story)
• Once ran a race up Pike’s Peak
• Loves college basketball

While growing up in Atlanta our family attended Peachtree Presbyterian, where I got my first job working in their recreation ministry. Even though I was always a part of the church, I somehow missed the message that I could have a personal relationship with God. Young Life helped me hear that message for the first time. I attended NC State where I met my beautiful wife, Grace. We both graduated with Psychology degrees. We married in 1995 while I was finishing up my Master of Divinity at Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest, NC.

After Seminary we moved to Jacksonville, Florida where I did youth ministry and started a contemporary worship service in an Episcopal (Anglican) Church. After serving 2 Presbyterian churches in Charlotte, NC we moved to Arlington in May 2005 when I became the 5^th Senior Pastor of Little Falls. We live in the neighborhood and have a daughter, Lauren who attends Nottingham.

When I’m not doing church stuff I love to play golf, run and grill out. I am also a part of a group of Arlington Pastors who pray together every Wednesday morning. It is great to see churches from various denominations who don’t compete with one another, rather we complete one another. My heart is for people to be in authentic relationships with God and one another. I know that everyone can benefit from meeting Jesus Christ.
