Pastor Matt has been in the pastoral ministry since 2000. He served as a Lead Pastor in Rhode Island, Michigan, and Nebraska. Pastor Matt and his wife Immy have been married since 2001. Immy is originally from India and currently works as a nurse in Lincoln. She loves having people over to their house and visiting. Together they have three children, Ethan, Sam, and Thomas. Pastor Matt absolutely loves hanging out with his boys! He is also a true outdoorsman and enjoys nature, hikes, working on the yard, and camping as a family — this may not be Immy’s favorite family activity, but she will lovingly tolerate it. In his spare time, he enjoys reading westerns and traveling. Pastor Matt is especially keen on traveling overseas as he finds other cultures fascinating.
