From Mt. Alto’s new Pastor,
Hello church. I can’t tell you what a privilege it is to have been called to be Mt. Alto’s newest Pastor. My family and I are so excited to be joining you in working to grow the kingdom of God. God has done many amazing things in Mt. Alto’s past. We are looking forward to a vibrant future working hand in hand to make disciples of King Jesus amongst those under the shadow of the steeple and beyond. Time is an amazing gift from God. God created time to move His creation forward. God created time that we might have opportunity to respond to His rescue plan to save us from paying the penalty of death eternally for our debt of sin. God created time to teach us that He is in control of everything. In fact, God made time to be eternal “down the middle of the city’s main street. The tree of life was on each side of the river, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree are for healing the nations.” Revelation 22:2. This means dates matter to God. I bet you could share with me many important dates in your life. I would like to share a few significant dates in my life. The date of this publishing happens to be my 40th Birthday May 11th . May 17th will be the 4th anniversary of my graduation at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. And my first Sunday as your new pastor will be June, 13th 2021. God has been working in our lives for the past two years preparing us for this date. This will mean that almost exactly two years has passed since I was a pastor of a church. My transition ministry, Meet Christ Ministries, has been an amazing opportunity to experience many worship styles in a variety of churches. Yet, we are so excited to be planted in one place to serve in community with each of you. Would you pray with us as we transition to Rome? May King Jesus bless each of you as we serve Him together making many more significant dates in the years to come.
Blessed to be your pastor,
Rev. Matthew Bowden
Mt. Alto Baptist Church is so very pleased to announce Pastor Matthew Bowden as our new pastor! We could not be more excited, proud, and eager for the days to come! We welcome Pastor Matthew and his entire family and so look forward to his leadership as we work together to learn and grow the church in Christ Jesus name. The Lord is moving at Mt. Alto Baptist Church!
