LEADERSHIP

Our church is Jesus-ruled, Elder/Board-led, and Congregationally-accountable. Jesus is the ultimate leader of the church. Under his leadership, he appoints human leaders who are called to lovingly, sacrificially,  and boldly lead his church to become everything it should become. Our church loves its leaders, and our leaders love the church.

Matt Boyd - Pastor

Matt moved his family to Portland in Summer 2017 to start the journey of planting Sojourn Church and he currently serves as the Lead Pastor. He moved to Portland with over a decade of experience in planting churches. In 2010 his family moved to South Asia to help plant and strengthen churches that led to church planting movements. He later helped plant churches for four years as a Directional Leader for the Table Network. Matt and his wife Andrea met when Matt was doing summer missions in Argentina, were married in 2007, and have three boys. They have called Portland home for a few years now and look forward to seeing how God uses them here as they invite others to take a journey of learning what it means to follow Jesus.

STAFF

The staff exists to lead the ministries and operations of the church in such a way that catalyzes the church to accomplish its mission. As we grow our desire is for the staff to grow and serve in a variety of roles such as ministry directors, ministry coordinators, and ministry support. If you notice an area of the church without someone overseeing it and you are passionate and gifted in that area let’s chat!
