Job explores the difficult question of God's relationship to human suffering, and invites us to trust God's wisdom and character.
Prior to entering ministry full-time, Pastor Matthew worked in the corporate world for twelve years, mainly in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He spent his first few months of full-time ministry at Bethlehem Baptist Church, and then helped launch a church plant and training institute for church planters in Orlando. His life’s passion is to make more and maturing disciples of Jesus Christ, and he’s been involved doing that with the church family at Calvary since 2007. Pastor Matthew absolutely loves the Bible, preaching Jesus from all the Scriptures, serving as our resident theologian through his writing and teaching, developing and empowering leaders, setting the direction and values of our church culture with our leadership team, and loving and shepherding the people of Calvary and the St. Cloud metropolitan area. He also enjoys reading, running, biking, hanging out with others over a good meal, and watching movies. Matthew and his wife, Susan, live in St. Cloud and have four children, two of them married and living in Southern Minnesota.
