Matt Judd (along with his wife Suzie and five other brave souls) founded Good News Church in November 1995. Matt is originally from St. Paul, MN where he was raised in a good Catholic family. Saved at the age of 19, he transferred to Oral Roberts University where he met Suzie and then moved to her hometown of Augusta after graduation. Matt worked as an accountant before leaving the world of business to pastor. His passion is to see people find and embrace God’s plans for their lives and to empower them fulfill those plans. As a pastor, he sees his role as that of a coach and mentor. Matt is the father of  four kids (2 daughters and 2 sons). He’s into reading – with a particular passion for books about the American Revolution and the founding of our nation. He also enjoys organic gardening and journaling.
