Meet pastor matt

Rev. Matt Beach was born on Galveston Island. He received his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Hawaii and Master of Divinity from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He is currently working on his Doctor of Philosophy in Theology and Ethics from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA, specializing in eschatology and utopia. He previously served as Assistant Editor of the Anglican Theological Review and has taught classes on theology, ethics, and methodology. He loves being outdoors, tinkering on air-cooled VWs, and reading books. Pastor Matt serves HPC part-time as he completes his dissertation. He lives in Galveston with his dog, Macrina.

Pastor Matt takes the call to be a Teaching Elder seriously. His self-understanding of that call is to serve the congregation as a theologian in residence, teaching the doctrines of the faith in new and innovative ways. He believes the Christian Life is a journey of intellectual joy and social activism. We invite you to read his 
Statement of Faith and his 2023 Annual Report.

Pastor Matt also maintains a personal 
YouTube Channel with selected sermons and educational resources for Spiritual Leadership Development.

Office hours are Wednesdays from 11:00 - 3:00 or by appointment. His email is rev.matt@heightspc.org
