Growing up in Massachusetts, Matt is everything Boston. But he upgraded significantly by marrying an Oregon girl, Hillary. The day Matt and Hillary moved to Bend, they ended up at a Compass cookout. This was the point when Matt realized that he didn't know the "real" Jesus. He soon made the decision to put his life in Jesus' hands, pick up his cross and follow Him. A few years later, Matt left his teaching job to become Compass' Youth Pastor... and remained there for 7 years before returning to Mountain View High School to teach math. Matt and Hillary have returned to Bend after spending a year in the Portland-area as an assistant principal. They have two children--Awbrey and Avery.

Kelley and his wife Kathy are excited to be serving at Compass Church. They have lived in Bend for over 30 years and have three grown kids and six grand-kids. Kelley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Compass as a former Lead Pastor and Youth Pastor. His love for people and God's Word, along with his down to earth style of teaching is a great combination that helps people understand God's Word and their relationship with Jesus Christ.

Sarah grew up in Southern Oregon and has always been big into sports, music, and Jesus! She has a huge collection of board games and yard games, and may be a TINY bit competitive as she takes her competition down (but, always tries to play nicely). Sarah likes to have fun and laugh, but also enjoys going deep in meaningful conversations with good friends. She loves hiking, biking, snow skiing, and most other outdoor activities. Sarah began leading worship as a high school student and feels blessed and excited to be able to serve in this role as youth and worship leader here at Compass. Her desire is for the church to understand the fun and freedom that can come through praise and worship, and that God uses it to move mightily in our lives! May the joy of the Lord be your strength, oh yeah!

Lexi was born in Las Vegas and grew up there and in Colorado, before attending the University of Wyoming. Lexi first came to Compass Church as an intern in 2017. After her internship ended, she eventually came on staff as an assistant youth director. After a couple years in that role, she realized that her true calling was in children's ministry. Lexi has been our CompassKids leader since 2021 and thrives in relationship with kids and parents.
