An energetic, dynamic, vision-casting adventurer for Jesus is one of the best ways to describe Rev. Matt Henson. Matt brings a fresh perspective and energy to the church and her ministry. He specializes in Evangelistic Preaching, Mission Experiences, Healing/Reconciliation Ministry, and Youth/Young Adult Ministry, using his experience and passion to proclaim the message of Jesus Christ to all people. Matt has served as a Youth for Christ-Campus Life Director, Associate Pastor, Youth Pastor, Senior Pastor, and Interim Pastor. In each of the places Matt has served, the ministries have seen transformation, growth, and a deeper knowledge of Christ. Matt serves as the Executive Director and Lead Evangelist for Living the Adventure Ministries, a ministry he founded in 2007. Living the Adventure Ministries is a nonprofit evangelistic and mission ministry "seeking to work for the transformation of the world through the awakening of the Church, evangelistic preaching, and Christian people putting their faith into action through mission experiences around the world." Matt travels around the nation and around the world as part of this ministry. He has spoken at youth camps, camp meetings, revivals, retreats, Christian Ashrams and mission trips. Matt has spoken to groups and been in mission in 23 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Liberia, Mexico, Zimbabwe, Haiti, Guyana, and India.
