Knowing God ● Making Him Known
GRANT MATHIS
Family life is one of the great joys of my life. I have been married to my high school sweetheart Emily for sixteen years this December. I am a father of three boys (Myles age 9, Merritt age 7, and Macon age 5). I enjoy coaching my boys in their various sports and activities.
I came to Christ in seventh grade at the age of twelve. In my early years, I served in various ministry roles in youth and discipleship. In my thirties and since coming to First Missionary, the Lord has really done a work in me. While further untangling roots of law and tradition, the Lord through various people pouring into me has taught me so much about identity in Christ, complete forgiveness, grace, the body of Christ, spiritual battles, and so much more. It is refreshing to walk along believers who love the Lord and are willing to pour into the people around them.
The greatest vision for any ministry that I am a part of is that the Spirit leads and we follow. Prayer ministry, Admin ministry, and College ministry all must be led by Spirit. It has been so refreshing to be a part of each of these ministries and to see the Lord work in the lives of His people. It is truly an honor to serve in each of these ministries.
