MATTHEW GOWIN, PASTOR
|
Pastor Matt was called to Scottsville Baptist Church in Spring 2024. He was drawn to SBC by an optimistic sense of the church's commitment to caring for one another while proclaiming the good news of Christ to the surrounding community. His passion is intentional Bible teaching and caring for the church community. His principal joy is partnering with his wife, Erin, to disciple their four children. They aim to equip them to walk in truth as they discover and share Christ's love. This makes him particularly grateful for an encouraging church family.
In 2006, while serving overseas in combat operations as part of the U.S. military, Pastor Matt surrendered to a call to radically follow Jesus. Simultaneous with a twenty-year career with the U.S. government in defense and security organizations, Matt served the local church in volunteer and bi-vocational roles. He discovered a zeal for studying and teaching the bible that fueled continuing education and mentorship as part of a call and equipping for pastoral ministry. Pastor Matt is a Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary graduate with a Master of Divinity degree. Subsequent training includes completing a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree emphasizing Christian leadership and education. His previous ministry experiences include partnering as a church planter, serving as an interim senior pastor, and student pastor in communities in rural Virginia. |
