Hi there! My name is Matthew. I have the privilege of serving as our Student Pastor at Smithville.
I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky to loving Christian parents. I've decided there is no better way to live than to make it my goal to look to the LORD and his strength, seeking his face always (see Psalm 105:4). My goal is to help students at Smithville do the same.
I am a graduate of Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry, with a major in preaching and minor in biblical languages. Currently, I am pursuing an M.A. in Bible and Theology at Lincoln Seminary at OCC. I'm a big Bible nerd and love helping others grow in their love of God through love of Scripture.
Never hesitate to reach out to me at matthew@smithvillecc.org (or use the form below) if you have any questions or there is any way I can serve you or your family. Blessings!
