Executive Pastor
Pastor Matt serves as Executive Pastor of DHBC and has been a member of the pastoral staff since 2021. A third-generation Phoenix native, Matt began attending Desert Hills events over 35 years ago when he was 8 years old and started coming to the church regularly when he was in high school. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Biblical Theology from the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL, and his Master of Divinity (M.Div.) from Phoenix Seminary. Pastor Matt and his wife Darci were married at Desert Hills in 2008 and have four children – all boys! Together they enjoy road trips and exploring new food places. A favorite verse of Pastor Matt is 2 Corinthians 5:21: “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
