Matthew Pinckard
Pastor
Born and raised by Christian parents in the New Orleans area, I've had the privilege to live and travel abroad but spent most of my life living in the Southeast and Midwest part of the United States. I consider myself a life-long learner. In terms of formal education I studied Philosophy for my Bachelor’s degree at Union University and hold a Master of Divinity in Christian Thought from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I spent 7 years working for Chick-fil-A restaurants and currently teach as an Adjunct Faculty for Missouri Baptist University. I have served in pastor ministry roles since 2018, and have been joyfully honored to be the primary ‘servant-leader’ and pastor of FBC Dupo since October 2022.
I have been tremendously blessed to be married to Amanda, a Saint Louis area native, since 2012. Together we have and are currently raising 3 children. We are excited to call our area home and hope to see it thrive for years to come!
For fun, I enjoy reading (mostly theology and fiction), playing modern board games, watching a good movie or show, and going on jogs while listening to podcasts.
My Mission Statement is “I exist to spread a zeal for the glory of God and His all-satisfying and infinite value, that manifests itself by increasing love for God and people, for the joy of all peoples, through Jesus Christ, as revealed in the Bible.”
I would love to speak with you! You can reach me either (1) by email: mattfbcdupo@gmail.com or (2) call the church building (618) 286-5810.
