Pr Glenn Matthews

Glenn is the embodiment of a local boy, born down the road at Bankstown Hospital and raised in Georges Hall. His grandparents were founding members of our church and his parents were married in this church, so he has attended Condell Park Bible Church from his earliest days. Glenn initially trained as a motor mechanic, however, sensing the leading of the Lord to prepare for ministry, he commenced training at Bible College.

Early on in his 11 years of study, Glenn married Erin, who had moved to Sydney from Coffs Harbour to attend Bible & Teachers’ College. In 1989, Glenn was appointed as Assistant Pastor, and following the completion of his studies, was ordained as Associate Pastor in 1997 and then installed as Senior Pastor in August 2016.

Erin has taught for many years in our Christian School, has served in various children’s ministries, plays a key role in the church’s music programme and is leader of the Women’s Ministries.

Glenn and Erin have two adult children, Luke and Olivia, who interestingly both have American spouses. Luke and his wife Sarah reside in north western Sydney where Luke works for a Christian camping organisation as an outdoor educator. They have been blessed with three children - Jaxen, Chloe and Lilliana (in heaven). Olivia trained in graphic design in the USA where she married Luke Hollis in May 2017. They reside in Michigan, USA where Luke ministers as a Youth Pastor.

Glenn and Erin enjoy music, books, travel, cricket and rugby league (Glenn only!) and spending time with family.
