Matt Town – Lead Pastor

Matt is married to Jo with three kids. He joined the team at LIFEHOUSE as a ‘minister in training’ in 2012 after completing a degree in theology and church leadership at RTC, Malvern. He now serves the church as lead pastor. Matt first trained as a youth worker serving churches across the UK in various ways whilst working for a family business in property maintenance. He loves lemon drizzle cake, family life, reading, the occasional 18 holes and a good crime drama. Oh! and of course he likes coffee – but that goes without saying.

Church  Leadership Team

The Church Leadership Team is made up of our lead pastor Matt and our Elders; Trevor McAvoy, Ben Munyaneza and Jo Town and Jerry Reakes Williams. The team are all members of the church family and play significant roles on our leadership team. Together we take the challenge of church leadership seriously whilst considering it a real joy to serve Jesus in this way, helping people grow closer to him in their everyday lives of worship and witness to the world.

Church Representatives

We have developed a leadership structure which facilitates wider input from the church into the leadership team which we have called ‘church representative.’ Every 6-12 months we will invite 1 or 2 people from within the church to join the CLT. They will participate fully in leadership discussion and decision making, bringing a wider church perspective to vision & strategy, cultural momentum and the spiritual life of the church. After their time on team comes to an end we will either ask those individuals to serve for another term or ask others to replace them.
