Pastor Matt Haupt was born in Dayton, Ohio. After graduating high school, he moved to Langley, British Columbia to study at Pacific Worship School. Soon after completing school, Matt moved back to Dayton where he met his wife, Jonell. Since graduating from International Seminary, Matt has served in full-time ministry, filling many different roles. Matt is currently working on a Master’s degree in theology and enjoys reading, running, tennis, and spending time with family. Matt and Jonell have three children: Noah, Adeline, and Emma.
Matt grew up in a Christian home, where he went to church every Sunday with his family. He thought he had accepted Christ as a second-grader in a chapel service at Dayton Christian Elementary School. Much later, he found out that following Christ is more than a prayer. It was early on in his marriage that God revealed to Matt that he was only living for himself. This nearly destroyed his marriage, but God in His amazing mercy and grace revealed Himself to Matt through His Word in a marriage counseling session where the pastor shared the Gospel. At that moment God made the good news of Jesus something personal for Matt. God saved him that day, as well as his marriage. Ever since, Matt has been trying to tell everyone the life-changing good news we have in Jesus. Jonell and Matt have been married since 1997 and are so thankful for His grace! God is good!
