Having grown up with a learning disability and speech issue, Matthew determined to lean into God for assistance. Desiring a closer walk with Jesus, he received more than expected. Before Pastor Matthew became Pastor Matthew, he was just Matthew the Cabinetmaker. Being in the trades for 10 years, he became a Journeyman Cabinetmaker with a Red Seal through NAIT. After NAIT he right away went to Vanguard Bible College where he graduated with his Bachelour of Arts in Theology (BRS) with an emphasis in Pastoral care and Counselling with honours. Matthew is not just a pastor, but he is also an evangelist and revivalist at heart. When requested to, he speaks at other churches, conferances, camp meetings, and even internationally. In September of 2019 Matthew married the love of his life, Rebekah Albu. They are a team, and look froward to what God has in store for them in the future!
Fun facts: Matthew loves to spend time studying theology, watching The Andy Griffith Show, Star Wars, and going to Disney theme parks!
