Church family and friends, please keep our First Baptist Church Goose Creek family in prayer
It is with deep sadness that we let you know that Pastor Matt has entered into the arms of God at 12:15. While we rejoice that he is home with his Heavenly Father, we are heartbroken for Shannon and the kids. We are comforted and rest in knowing that he has heard the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Matt 25:23
Pastor Matt has this verse as one of his favorites Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the son of God."
We are grateful that God has given us this
time with Matt as the Under Shepherd of our church-as he would say. "God is the Shepherd, I am the under shepherd."
We ask that you continue to keep Shannon and the kids in your prayers. Please give them some private time as they cope and grieve.
We will post any arrangements on this page when we know of them.
Any communication, cards, etc. for the family can be sent to the church in care of:
