Program: Meet Your Adult Discipleship Pastor

Matt Chandler serves as the Adult Discipleship Pastor at First Norfolk, where he provides leadership for adult LIFEgroups, midweek programming, and various other ministry initiatives. Originally from Dayton, Ohio, Matt relocated to Virginia in 2013 to attend Regent University, where he earned both a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Divinity in Biblical Studies. Prior to joining the staff at First Norfolk, Matt spent eight years serving in a variety of roles at Regent University, culminating in his position as Director of Instruction for the School of Divinity (Regent’s seminary). Matt and his wife, Kathryn, will celebrate their tenth anniversary this summer. They are the proud parents of two fiery red-headed daughters, Alethea (uh-LAY-thee-uh) and Sophia. Matt’s primary ministry calling is to disciple believers toward spiritual maturity, equipping them to love God, love others, and live on mission.
