Rev. Matt Traylor

Fr. Matt grew up near Tampa, FL and studied Bible-Theology and Philosophy at Wheaton College, where he met his wife, Kati, the saint in the relationship. He served in Istanbul, Turkey for two years and then received an M.Div. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. As a deacon, he helped plant a church in Buffalo, NY, and after being ordained a priest in 2021, he led the family ministry at a parish in Colorado Springs. It's his duty and joy to assist in leading the parish, especially in Spiritual formation and pastoral care. Matt loves to get coffee or lunch to hear what God is doing in your life (or chat about what you're reading), so please reach out anytime! Matt and Kati have three amazing kids and a scaredy-dog, and he will gladly accept your offer to take him hunting or get the family outdoors.
