Matt sees beyond the job to the individual. At a time when I was questioning my ability and calling in my life, Matt was able to walk me through my strengths and weaknesses to make me a better leader. I will always be indebted to Matt for seeing leadership potential in me before I saw it in myself.
Matt is a Church Comm and Creative guru. I really believe it. He is so efficient and effective in his outsource help to churches and very flexible and understanding of the pace of working with church leaders. On the side of creative teams and culture Matt has deep insights that have formed and shaped the process of intake, management, and execution for our creative team at High Desert Church. He is amazing at finding problems in a system and offering a myriad of solutions. If you need a creative team turned healthy or help as a stop gap for a season I couldn’t recommend Matt enough.
Because you don't NEED a design class!
The four pillars of design that I'm sharing with you in this course came out of FOUR college classes that I took while getting my degree. On top of that, NONE of my classes prepared me to work in ministry - even though I went to a Christian university!
The knowledge I'm sharing with you in this class is FOUR years of formal design training filtered through 16 years of ministry practice so you learn only what you NEED to learn.
This course gives you ministry specific training that you can't get from a community college class, in less time than a class would offer it.
Design classes run anywhere between 7 weeks and 14 weeks AND usually meet for 3 hours each week. That's a LOT of time!
Would you rather spend as much as 168 hours in a graphic design class at a community college, or spent 1 hour and 34 minutes getting ministry focused teaching?
Owner of Lunchtime Heroes
Having spent over 20 years in creative ministry, I’ve served in a variety of roles ranging from graphic designer to Creative Minister. In that time, I’ve seen toxicity spread through organizations when not addressed, led unhealthy teams back to health, and recognized that creative teams can only be effective if they are healthy.
I started Lunchtime Heroes in 2022 to help churches build healthy creative teams and have had the pleasure of working with churches, individual creatives, and non-profit organizations across the country.
Outside of building healthy church creative teams, I enjoy making music under the name Comfy Socks, BBQ, coffee roasting (and consumption), and gaming with friends.
