Matt has been serving as Missions Strategist since August of 2014. His vision for our churches lines up with the purposes of our association: to establish, enlarge, and extend our churches. He wants to see churches that are strong and growing, churches comprised of believers who are maturing in their faith and who are continually seeking to reach outward to those who've yet to experience a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. He works to encourage and develop our pastors and church leaders, helping them improve their skills and lead their churches to be on mission locally, in other parts of America, and overseas.

Matt and his wife LuSinda have four children and 3 grandchildren: Karrington is married to Tyler Swadley and live and work overseas along with there 2 children.

Justin is passionate about ministering to college students, connecting them to local churches, and equipping them for lifelong ministry. His desire is to raise up a group of young adults who have a deep love for Jesus, a desire to be unified with other believers, and a commitment to using each of their gifts/passions to make Christ known. Justin has spent most of his life in Claremore, OK. He graduated from Rogers State University in 2014, receiving a degree in Social Entrepreneurship. He then served as the College Pastor at First Baptist Church in Claremore, OK for 4 years. 

He married Elizabeth Romaine in 2017. Elizabeth currently works as a nurse. The two met while in college, and then served alongside each other in their local college ministry. It was there that God gave them both a deep love for walking alongside college students. Justin recently moved to Enid, OK to continue collegiate ministry at NOC, as well as help plant Open Door Church.

In his free time, he loves skateboarding, live music, camping, editing videos, and anything that involves coffee.
