Other Instructors for Foundations Course

Matt Marino

Instructor

An adolescent atheist turned Episcopal priest, Matt likes to drink coffee, talk about Jesus, and will shamelessly invite himself aboard your sailboat. Matt has been rector of Trinity since April Fools day, 2019. Also on Matt’s resume: Basketball coach, history teacher, recovery planner, Young Life Area Director, summer camp program architect, youth/young adult director for the Diocese of Arizona, seminary instructor, church planter, consultant, and ballboy for the Phoenix Suns. Each of those experiences has left him more in wonder at the grandeur of the One who made us and calls us home through the cross and empty tomb. Matt and Kari have two grown children, Gabrielle and Luke, who love God and his church. Matt blogs at thegospelside.com.
