Matt Thigpen
Campus Pastor
North Hills
Matt grew up in Dallas as a “PK” (pastor’s kid) and was radically transformed by God as a high school student at summer camp. He met his wife, Sarah, while they both worked at James Avery Jewelry, and they are blessed to have three daughters, Macie, Ellie, and Sadie. He likes to vacation with his wife, play games that make his daughters laugh, read books related to Jesus, eat delicious desserts, and see funny stand-up comics. Matt's passion is Jesus, and he wants to be used by God to ignite a passion for Jesus in young adults and the next generation.
