Rev. Matt Rice
Senior Pastor -
mattrice@safnaz.org

Buckeye by birth and Texan by choice is his motto. Matt grew up in a small factory town in Southern Ohio called Ironton. He received his BA in Business and Economics from Mount Vernon Nazarene University in 1990. Shortly afterward, Matt married his dream girl to whom he has been happily married for the past 17 years. After working for Ashland Oil Company as an Area Supervisor he felt God tugging at his heart towards full-time ministry. Matt graduated with his MDIV from Nazarene Theological Seminary in 1994 and immediately moved to Dallas, Texas where he served 8 years as Youth Pastor. He has served as Senior Pastor of SAF since 2002.

Matt and Kim have three boys ages 12 (Drew), 9 (Connor), 8 (Chase) and one girl age 6(Abby). An interesting point his children love to point out is that they are all Texans. His hobbies include ranching, anything his kids are involved in and sports.

It was while at SNU that he met his beautiful and wonderful wife Melissa. After graduation from SNU, Rick and Melissa moved north to Kansas City, MO to attend Nazarene Theological Seminary.

Some of Aaron's favorite hobbies are playing disc golf, singing, playing guitar, and reading with his wife.
