PASTORAL CANDIDATE INFORMATION

The Rev. Matt Burnett
Senior Pastor

Most importantly, I am married to Lauren, (since 1983) and am father to 3 sons: Chris (born 1991), Jeremy (born 1993), and Alex (born 1998). I am originally from Dallas, Texas and attended Texas A&M University where I played soccer and received undergraduate and graduate degrees (whoop!) in Health Education focused on International Health and then Urban and Regional Planning specializing in Health and Health Care Systems in Developing Countries.

After graduate school I went to work for Compassion International. Lauren and I lived in the Dominican Republic; then we and 2 of the boys lived in Australia. I am deeply grateful and humbled to have also worked with amazing colleagues in another 16 countries. Continuing the trend, Lauren currently works at Compassion. She also raised 3 boys and remodeled a 100+ year-old Victorian in Pittsburgh, amongst other things. Just sayin’.

After sneaking 95% of a M.Ed., I later founded and was Owner/President of Knowledge Builders Inc., a small training and consulting company that designed or developed or implemented technical documentation and training, including stand-up instruction, web- and DVD-based instruction, and live simulation instruction amongst other types for companies such as  IBM, The National Forest Service, US West Communications, MCI and British Telecom, Oracle, The South American Missionary Society, and Trinity School for Ministry. 

I received my Doctor of Ministry from Trinity Anglican Seminary for my work on "How A Narnian Catechism Can Enliven Faith." I am honored to support the Diocese of the Rocky Mountains as the Canon to the Ordinary, and my dream job is my current one - Senior Pastor of Holy Trinity Anglican Church.
