Our Pastor

Our pastor is the Rev. Peter Matthews.  Peter has been married to his wife Trudi for 18 years.  Peter has been ion vocational ministry for 20 years.

After ten years of ministry in Ames, Iowa, Peter and Trudi along with their children moved to Kentucky so he could attend Asbury Theolgical Seminary. While in school, Peter worked at the Episcopal Church of the Apostles. His time at Church of the Apostles solidified a sense of call to the Anglican tradition that he had been wrestling since college.

After graduating from seminary with a Masters of Divinity in summer 2003, Peter and Trudi together with a team of 15 adults launched Saint Patrick's Church.

Peter and Trudi have four children: Dylan (14), Rees (10), Ainsley (5) and Shelby (3). Peter loves music (especially The Beatles), plays guitar, loves movies and books.  His favorite quote is:  He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose. (Jim Elliot)
