A life-long entrepreneur (and recovering lawyer)\, he’s working to reinvent the meeting as the founder and CEO of Filament. He’s also the founder of Invisible Girlfriend and Boyfriend. Though he suffers from a self-diagnosed case of “Idea Surplus Disorder\,” his ventures share one thing in common: a focus on finding creative ways to solve difficult problems with smart people.  Matt grew up in Highland\, Illinois\, but now lives in St. Louis with his wife Jessica and daughter Grace.

SUMMARY:"When God Left the Building" - Dinner\, Viewing\, and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:As the culture around us changes\, it can become increasingly difficult for the church to communicate in a way that connects with our communities. “When God Left the Building” is a film that addresses this challenging topic and highlights churches that have decided to stay on mission\, flex their approach\, and reach those outside the church. We will gather in fellowship to eat dinner\, watch the film\, and discuss how best to engage our communities with mission-focused ministry! View the trailer below! \nRegister Now!
