Pastor, Student Ministry

Matt grew up in a Christian home, but his relationship with Christ became personal at the age of 8.  His parents and the student ministry of his church were vital to his growth as a Christ follower.  It was in the student ministry as a teenager, that God first started calling Matt to serve Him and invest into future generations the things that had been invested into him.  He loves students, and believes in their potential to change the world.  He believes that, as a student minister, his job is to love them, encourage them, help them see their potential, and to provide a place where they know they are cared about.  He believes that his calling is also to minister to the parents (who have more

of an impact on their children than he ever could), and to involve other adults in the overall ministry, as well.

Matt received his Bachelor of Arts in Religion from Oklahoma Baptist University in 1995 and his Masters of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2000.   Prior to FBC Pflugerville, Matt served as High School Minister at FBC in Euless, TX.

Matt married Melody Collins in April 2007 and they have a son, Caleb Matthew, born Nov. 9, 2009.
