Associate Pastor of Worship and Fine Arts

Matthew F. Swain

Matthew grew up as a Preacher’s Kid near the Southern California coastline near Los Angeles. His father, also a pastor, moved the family east to Pittsburgh to serve in ministry. Matthew's own call to ministry came during his college days while pursuing studies toward a medical degree, and he transferred to Alderson-Broaddus Baptist College in West Virginia, earning the Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Performance and Church Music. In the fall of 1998, Matthew continued his ministry & music studies at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, earning a Master’s degree in Church Music in 2000. Matthew also completed coursework toward the Doctorate of Musical Arts degree at SBTS in 2006 and graduated in 2010 with a Doctorate in Music Ministry. He was ordained for ministry in 2007.

In addition to being a seminary adjunct faculty member, he has served in full time ministry in Georgia and Kentucky and often travels to lead worship and teach ministry seminars in both church and conference settings. He has been happily married to his best friend (who also holds a seminary degree), since 2007 --who also serves as church pianist and director of the Women's Ministry here at BSBC. They are the proud parents of two energetic toddlers. Matthew delights in spending time with his family, and while he's temporarily traded in his running shoes & completed marathons for T-ball practices and higher swing pushes, Matthew & his family value their time serving the Body of Christ at Bull Street and the many families it represents. Above all, he desires to model a life of authentic worship and for others to know the true Gospel of peace--found in Christ alone by faith alone.
