Matt Chandler serves as the lead pastor of teaching at The Village Church in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. He came to The Village in December 2002 and describes his tenure as a replanting effort to change the theological and philosophical culture of the congregation. The church has witnessed a tremendous response, growing from 160 people to more than 11,000, including campuses in Flower Mound, Dallas, Plano, and Fort Worth.
Alongside his current role as lead pastor, Matt is involved in church planting efforts both locally and internationally through The Village, as well as in various strategic partnerships. Prior to accepting the pastorate at The Village, Matt had a vibrant itinerant ministry for more than 10 years that gave him the opportunity to speak to thousands of people in America and abroad about the glory of God and the beauty of Jesus.
Matt is the author of To Live Is Christ, to Die Is Gain; The Mingling of Souls; and The Explicit Gospel Bible Study (LifeWay, 2012). He’s also a coauthor of Creature of the Word (LifeWay, 2012).
Other than knowing Jesus, Matt’s greatest joy is being married to Lauren and being the dad to their three children: Audrey, Reid, and Norah.
