Stefan Matzal
Stefan has been blessed to be the husband of Sarah for more than thirty years; the Lord has entrusted them with four children (who are beginning to fly the coop). Stefan has been one of the pastors of Trinity Fellowship since 2001. His philosophy of pastoral ministry emphasizes, among other things, the authority and relevance of Scripture, and the importance of pastoral love and prayer for the congregation. Stefan's undergraduate degree is from Bucknell University. He holds the Master of Divinity and the Master of Theology from Baptist Bible Seminary, Clarks Summit, PA; and the Doctor of Practical Theology from McMaster Divinity College. In addition to his local pastoral ministry, Stefan writes theology for the broader church, especially for other pastors and theologians. He has published articles on 2 Samuel 4, Ezra 3, and Ezra 4-6 in the peer-reviewed journal Vetus Testamentum. Stefan is a member of the Evangelical Theological Society and the Evangelical Homiletics Society.
