Theo Matthews has lived in the state of Florida for over 20 years. While attending college in Tallahassee, he had heard the gospel preached in a Baptist Church. Although getting saved happened months later, the power of the gospel still resonated in his mind and memory. In the fall of 2002, Theo decided to put his faith on Jesus Christ to save him from Hell and asked God for the free gift of eternal life!
Theo’s pursuit of growing in the Word of God, serving the Lord, and fulfilling the desire to become a pastor one day, has landed him in Jacksonville Florida. By God’s merciful hand and loving grace, Theo has been on a dynamic and sobering path of attaining these pursuits. In September of 2022, it is through Pastor Patrick Boyle and Revival Baptist Church that Theo was sent out to pastor the local church in Jacksonville and continue a great work!
Theo with his wife, Flo, and their five children look forward to the many opportunities to serve God alongside the great people of Abiding Word Baptist Church! By faith, Theo endeavors to lead a church that is willing to carry the gospel through the entire city of Jacksonville, the state of Florida, and beyond the borders of the United States.
