Brad Matthews,  ASSISTANT PASTOR

Brad began attending South City in the summer of 2014. During his time here, he became friends with Catharine and they were married in 2017. They were delighted to receive the gift of their daughter, Dottie, in 2018 and enjoy celebrating her baptism in 2019. Brad serves regularly as an Associate Professor of New Testament and the Dean of Faculty at Covenant Theological Seminary. In this interim season, the session has asked him to serve in the congregation as Interim Pastor.

“I love South City Church and the ministry that it has had in St. Louis. It is the community that cared for me and Catharine individually when we both had endured difficult seasons of life. It is also the community where we have grown together and celebrated so much of the Lord’s blessings in our lives. I consider it a privilege to serve the church for a season as we honor our history while also looking to the Lord for his provision into the future.”
