Matt Holmes has been the Senior Pastor at Turner Christian Church since 2018. He grew up in Spokane Valley, Washington (so he has no opinion on Ducks vs. Beavers!). Before coming here, Matt served as an associate minister in Enterprise, Oregon, where he married his wife Casey. They have a son named James, two daughters named Charley and Maggie, and a dog named Pippin. Matt enjoys reading, running, and playing guitar and ukulele. In ministry he is passionate about teaching people how to read the Bible and Christian unity.
