Matt Emerson
Pastor
Mrs. Kim and I are blessed to be apart of Hornsby. We have lived in Hardeman County all of our lives and love our neighbors. We have three children: Katelyn, Robert Connor, and Campbell.
I graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1995 with a BS in Horticulture and Landscape Design. I became overwhelmed with the purpose of life as a young adult. This desire led me to Southern Seminary. I received a Master of Divinity in 2008 and Doctorate in Ministry in 2013.
Favorite Bible Verse
"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven" (Mathew 5:16).
