Founder/president
Matt is the President and Founder of Spirit & Truth, a back-to-the-basics ministry born out of a vision and passion to see local churches renewed in the power of the Holy Spirit and mobilized to make disciples of Jesus Christ. After serving for many years as a pastor, Matt experienced a profound encounter with the Holy Spirit which led to him serving with a missionary organization in the United States for a year and the eventual launch of Spirit & Truth. He has served in local church ministry for about 20 years. Matt has a degree in mechanical engineering, an M.Div. from Asbury Theological Seminary, and a doctoral degree from United Theological Seminary with an emphasis on evangelism and church renewal. He is an ordained elder in the Global Methodist Church. Matt lives in Tipp City, Ohio with his wife, Heidi, and their three sons, Nolan, Grady, and Jonathan.
