MATT IS OUR INTERIM PASTOR. He grew up in London in a non-religious household and didn’t come to faith until the age of 32. Finding faith in Jesus transformed his life, and after working as a video producer for some years, he and his wife Kim joined Founding Pastor Al Hardy and his wife Niki to help establish CityChurch Charlotte. Over a decade of ministry later, besides watching Arsenal soccer club, following Formula 1 racing and trying to keep up with his 3 daughters, Matt still sees following Jesus as the greatest adventure in life.

MARISSA IS OUR ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT. Here’s what she has to say: Hiiiiiii, I am Marissa Adams, married to Jack Adams. I was born and raised in Arizona. I made the transition to be in North Carolina  because I fell in love with this beautiful state ever since I visited frequently here as a child. My family lives here, and I also wanted to be closer to them. I have a knack for assisting people on my team, taking tasks to ease their workload, and getting creative. I have a passion for all things dance because it makes me feel at ease, forget all of my problems, and lose myself in the music, as it is healing. I hope to make many more connections and get to know everyone more.
