After graduating from Texas A&M in 2005, he worked in the non-profit sector before joining the Gospel Life staff full-time in 2013.  He served faithfully as Executive Pastor from December 2017 until this year, when he stepped into a new season to launch his own illustration and design business.

Matt serves Gospel Life Church by shepherding our Gospel Communities, Discipleship Groups, theological equipping, and music ministry. He’s married to Joanie, and they have three children, Bella, Imogen, and Noah. Matt is passionate about cultivating and equipping the church to be disciple makers: followers of Jesus who invite those around them to embrace the good news of Jesus in all of life. The gospel really is good news for every part of our lives and Matt loves helping the church explore and grow in the freedom and goodness of life in Christ.  As a New Braunfels native Matt and his family enjoy all the opportunities for outdoor adventure, you’ll often find them camping, at the river, or biking. But honestly they’re big nerds too, so there’s a good chance you’ll find them playing games, or reading at a coffee shop. Matt received his B.S in Worship Arts from Corban University and his M.Div from Redeemer Seminary.

Jonathon has been a part of Gospel Life Church since its founding. He began serving as a Lay Pastor in 2013 and works full-time as an I.T. professional in San Antonio. Jonathon is married to Gaby, and together they have six children and host the Marion Gospel Community.
