Matt Boswell
Pastor at The Trails Church, Professor of Worship Ministries, Midwestern Seminary
Matt was raised in a home where he was taught Scripture and who Jesus was from as early as he can remember. At the age of seven, he was convicted of his sin and knew he needed a Savior. He repented of my sin, trusted in Christ, and was baptized a few months later.
