What I’m Called to Do
I’m the lead pastor of Liberty Church, a multi-campus church based in York, SC. I’ve been here since 2008.
I speak at churches, conferences, and events across the country.
I coach pastors and leaders who want to grow without burning out.
And I lead MOG 24/7 a movement that challenges men to live as Men of God every single day.
At the end of the day, I’m just a guy who loves Jesus, believes in people, and refuses to waste the calling God’s given me.
What I Believe
The gospel changes everything and everyone.
The church should be bold, joyful, and full of life.
Pastors need encouragement, not ego.
Men need to rise up and lead well.
And if God calls you, He’ll equip you even if the road is tough.
Let’s Stay Connected
Whether you’re a pastor looking for guidance, a man ready to grow, or just someone trying to live out your faith I’d love to be a part of your journey.
From the Patrol Car to the Pulpit. From Pressure to Purpose.
I’m Matt Burrell: a pastor, coach, husband, dad, and Pop.
I didn’t grow up dreaming about ministry. I spent 13 years in law enforcement, wearing a badge and walking into pressure-packed situations every day. I loved the work, but deep down, I knew God was calling me to something bigger something that would impact lives in an eternal way.
So I traded the patrol car for the pulpit.
Today, I get to preach Jesus, build leaders, and walk with people as they discover their purpose. And I’m just getting started.
My Family Is My First Ministry
I’ve been married to Lynn since 1993 she’s my best friend, my strongest supporter, and the one who makes everything better. We’ve raised four amazing kids and now have the joy of watching our grandkids grow up. Family matters to me deeply not just in theory, but in the way I live, lead, and love.
For Fun
I was a police officer for 13 years. Yes, I still drive like one.
I married my high school sweetheart, Lynn, in 1993. Still the best decision I’ve ever made.
We have 4 kids and now we’re in the grandkid phase. Pop life is the best life.
I’m obsessed with CrossFit. If it doesn’t involve burpees or barbells, is it even a workout?
I’m a sucker for a good road trip. Especially if the destination is hot, adventurous, or has Steak.
I love leadership, loud worship, and strong coffee. Preferably all at once.
My life verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:24 “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.”
