Associate Pastor of Students
Matthew was called to serve as the Associate Pastor of Students at Lake Talquin Baptist Church in December 2024.
He accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior during Middle School at a Youth Summer Camp. Initially, Matthew felt called to serve in the Military during High School. However, after speaking with recruiters, he learned that a birth defect would prevent him from enlisting. During this challenging time, he turned to God in prayer, seeking guidance for his future.
God led Matthew to the Baptist College of Florida, where he pursued and earned a degree in Music Education in 2016. Recognizing the importance of further theological education and feeling a strong calling to serve as a Youth Pastor, Matthew is now enrolled in the Master of Divinity program at the Baptist University of Florida.
In addition to his ministry, Matthew currently works as a Cyber Security Analyst for a company based in Tallahassee.
