Matt Sneed – Director of Worship

Matt and Jessica Sneed call Benton Illinois home. Matt grew up with incredible parents who taught him to have a hard work ethic and to love Jesus. Matt’s Dad is a worship leader, so music was always flowing through the house. From a young age he had a love for music and in 5th grade started learning the drums, which he played in the worship band for many years. He then picked up playing the guitar and singing and has been in several Christian bands and worship teams that has traveled the USA spreading the gospel and leading lives to Christ. Matt’s heart desire is to inspire God’s people to a place of active worship. Matt and Jessica have been married for over 15 years, and they have 7 kids together and 3 grandkids. Jessica loves spoiling the grandbabies. They both have a heart and love for Jesus.
