Matt Malcom (Associate Pastor for Youth)

God saved Matt when he was 18 and gave him a passion for youth ministry right from the start. After 10 years of ministry to youth and young adults at St. Matt’s

Church in Shenton Park with Matt graduating from Trinity Theological College and marrying Corinne along the way, he headed up North to Dongara where they pastored a small town church together. It was during that time that both Matt and Corinne realized their passion was still for youth and Matt will be joining the team at North Beach in 2010.

Matt loves to see God at work in young people and is committed to training and discipling as the key to that end.

Over the years Matt’s motto verse has been 1 Thessalonians 2:8. “We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our very lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.”

His passion is to train and equip leaders to do the work of gospel discipleship.

Matt takes great joy in seeing his kids love Jesus and the Dockers. He also loves bashing drums, strumming guitars and thrashing the other team in basketball.
