Matt Ellis (Lead Pastor)

I grew up in California with my 5 brothers and sisters. In my free time I enjoy riding my dirt bike and making fun movies with my 3 boys. I love being a pastor, because I love to see people finding their life purpose and putting their God-given gifts to use. I can't stand spending time in the church office, but you will often find me at a nearby coffee shop with my laptop open getting the job done.

I love reading books by Tim Keller. John Owen is another of my favorite authors. A perfect day for me would be at the beach in the water on my 9 ft longboard. But, since I only get one or 2 days a year like this, I'll settle for a day with my boys on a bear hunt on the hiking trails in the foothills.
