Pastor Matt is a lover of Jesus, his beautiful wife Von, and his extended family, spending time in God’s beautiful creation, and having faith-filled conversations. He grew up in small town Minnesota and has spent seasons of life as a youth minister, working construction, as a basketball coach, as a teacher, doing campus ministry, and as an Ordained Minister. He loves being a Pastor and doing ministry with the people of Hope.

“It is a privilege to get to proclaim the Good News and to be invited into the sacred spaces of people’s lives. I truly enjoy sharing the story of God’s love as well as hearing the stories of God’s people. The Church has a truly unique niche in the world to create something every human longs for, community. My sense is that Hope excels at creating community and I’m looking forward to being a part of it.”

In his spare time, Pastor Matt loves the outdoors, fishing, hunting, and recently has become an obsessed Muskie fisherman. He also enjoys reading, movies and loves the game of basketball. He has three beautiful adult daughters, Madeline, Annie, and Lilly, and has one sweet little nugget of a granddaughter named Lola who has stolen his heart. He is excited to do life with you.  You can call Pastor Matt at 952-492-2099 or e-mail him at pastor@hope-jordan.org.
