Pastor Matt Lee came to New Life Church of the Nazarene on September 1, 2024. Before coming to New Life, he worked at MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas, for seven years as an adjunct professor and Resident Educator.

The attributes that best describe Matt as a pastor are preaching, leadership development, and relational. He has expressed a burning desire to lead a church like New Life, where biblical views are embraced and encouraged, with members who care about the needs of those around them and who want to connect others to the body of Christ. Pastor Matt takes worship and preaching very seriously, spending the first hours of his day focused on Bible study.

He graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with a degree in religion. He has also received two Masters degrees in Education—one from Grand Canyon University and the other from MidAmerica Nazarene University. 

He enjoys kayaking, attending baseball games (he has visited almost every MLB park), collecting autographs & memorabilia, and traveling.
