Matthew has served with Speak for the Unborn (S4U) since 2018, but his passion for pro-life ministry was kindled at a young age by participating in baby bottle fundraisers with Louisville’s local pregnancy center. He deeply desires to see babies saved, the Gospel proclaimed, the church equipped, and the hearts of abortion-minded women and men reached for Christ.
During his undergraduate degree, Matthew served as the president of Boyce College’s pro-life student organization and led a team to mobilize and assist pro-life efforts in Louisville and around the country. After coming on staff as S4U’s Network Church Mobilizer in 2022, Matthew transitioned into the role of S4U’s Executive Director in 2024.
Matthew received his M.Div from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and his B.A. in Biblical and Theological Studies through Boyce College’s seminary track program. He and his beautiful wife Katie are members at Immanuel Baptist Church in Louisville, KY.

Jasmine is finishing a B.S. in Strategic Communications at Boyce College in the spring of 2024 and is excited to continue supporting the pro-life movement at S4U.
