Matthew Olson, Family³ Ministries Director

Matt began his ministry at St. John in 2011 as Director of Youth Ministries.  As of November 2017 he has taken on the role of Director of Family³ Ministries where the further development of children, youth, young adult, marriage and parenting ministries are underway.

Along with his wife, Shantell, Matt received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biblical Studies with a Youth & Family Ministry major from the Lutheran Bible Institute of Seattle.

Matt, Shantell and their three daughters have shared their family adventures and faith journeys’ within the following communities in which he has served:   Yankton, SD; Detroit Lakes, MN and Box Hill (Melbourne) Australia.

Athletics, choir, band and photography were his growing up pursuits with cross-country and track being where he excelled (a North Dakota State Champion in both fields & nearly a Collegiate (NAIA) All-American as a freshman in cross-country.)  However, the call to full time professional ministry changed his ambitions.

Matthew’s Confirmation / Life verse is:

“Let us run with determination the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith.”  (Hebrews 12:1b-2a)
