Intro to Pastor Matt & Family

I am married to Sal and have six lovely children: Benjamin, (19) Jonah (17), Zachary, (15) Tabitha, (13) Philippa (11) and Grace (9). I have been a pastor at Trinity Pasadena for 4 1/2 years working in Cross cultural ministry, family's ministry and Aged care. My previous career before ministry was as a clinical music therapist for 12 years in both the U.K and in Australia working in disability, brain injury and psychiatry.  I have a passion for preaching teaching and sharing the Gospel, music ministry, trauma counselling, and parenting work with families.

 

Sal is a wellness coach with Weight Watchers and her previous career was as a company & commercial lawyer in the U.K. Sal loves writing speaking, sharing her passion for God's Word. She enjoys sewing in her 'spare' time.

 

As a family we come with a toolbox of gifts and skills, and are so looking forward to partnering with the congregation in God's mission in the community, and working with the congregation to fulfill its vision as part of new and renewing churches.  As a family of band musicians, we are also excited to be able to contribute to the worship life of the congregation.  We thank God for this opportunity to part of the church community and to help lead, encourage and equip you all as a congregation!
