Matt Horne

Pastor of Students and Families

Matt grew up in a small town in Texas about an hour outside of Houston and would later go on to graduate from the University of Houston with a degree in communications. During his time at UH, he met and married Bekah. Since that point, they have lived in KY, St. Louis MO, and gained three crazy boys along the way. Derek, Hendrix, and Micah. After getting married Matt served RUF as a campus intern for two years before moving to St. Louis to pursue theological education at Covenant Seminary. Matt loves to play golf when things aren’t too crazy (so rarely) and he also loves learning about personal finance.
