Speaker:

Matt Chandler

Matt Chandler is the lead pastor of The Village Church in Highland Village, Texas. He was born near Seattle and due to growing up with a father in the military, moved several times before settling in the Huston area. He attended church during his childhood and adolescence, but did not truly know and follow Jesus until he turned 17.

Matt’s hope for The Village Church is that they would be a family of men and women who know and worship the triune God rightly; that in view of His Majesty they would walk in compassion, mercy and grace and that both their minds and their hearts would be full of and shaped by Him.

His greatest joy outside of Jesus is being married to Lauren and being a dad to their two children Audrey and Reid.
