Pastor Matt Lucas

Originally from Charleston, SC, Matt graduated from the University of Missouri (go Tigers!) with a B.A. degree in 1995. After graduating from college, Matt worked for Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) at Clemson University (different kind of Tigers) where he met his wife Sallye. They moved to St. Louis, MO in 1997 to attended Covenant Theological Seminary (unfortunately there was no Tiger mascot), graduating in 2001.

He served eight years as an Associate Pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, SC. He was also the RUF Campus Minister at the University of South Carolina (Gamecocks are enemies of Tigers) from 2003-2007.

Matt and Sallye have been blessed with four children. He and his family are excited to be in Hendersonville in order to serve the church and community for the glory of God.
