Matthew Mitchell was welcomed as New Home’s Minister of Worship in August of 2022.

Matthew is from Wetumpka, and currently studies Music Industry at Troy University. When asked what his favorite part of music ministry is, Matthew replied, “My favorite thing about music ministry is how God can use something that I love and that He’s given me the gift to do to bring glory to Him. Really shows how He can use my passion and still bring glory to Himself.” One of his favorite passages of scripture is Numbers 6:24-26.
