Joined Belmont UMC staff in 2024
Matt grew up in Western North Carolina and has served Baptist, Episcopal, United Methodist, and Presbyterian congregations. He comes to us from the Presbyterian Church in Morristown, New Jersey, where for the past decade, he has guided a large, multi-faceted program of music and the arts. While serving churches, Matt has also served as a music professor at both Drew and Elon Universities.
Matt did postdoctoral studies in Music and Liturgy at The University of Oxford, UK, after completing doctoral and master’s degrees in conducting from the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, and an undergraduate degree in music and philosophy from Wake Forest University. As a collaborative pianist and choral conductor, he has performed at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and throughout the US, the UK, and Europe.
A note from Matt: “I couldn’t be more excited to join the Belmont UMC family and become a resident of Nashville. You have shown me great hospitality, even before I joined the staff, and that warm welcome envelopes me even now as I set out to empower a community of spiritual and musical excellence that was carefully cultivated by Gayle Sullivan. I look forward to creating strong bonds of friendship as we reflect God’s love in our daily lives. Thank you for being my new home!”
