Pastor

Matthew Weber

Matthew has called Colorado home for well over two decades, and has served as Grace’s pastor since 2020. Before coming to Grace, he served as a pastor at congregations in Colorado and Washington.

Matthew enjoys adventuring with his family, spending time doing almost anything that’s outdoors, and playing music. Though he has fond memories of growing up in central Texas, you’d be hard-pressed to get him to move away from Colorado.
