Pastor Charles
Matlock
Coming to Madison, FL is almost coming home for me as I was born down in
Melbourne, FL. My parents were founding members of First Baptist Indialantic, FL. My
dad was a deacon for over 50 years. I am a people person. I love sitting down over a
cup of coffee and getting to know people. So, invite me out for a cup of coffee
sometime. I have served as a Youth Pastor, Family Pastor, Missionary in the lower
Amazon jungle of Peru, Lead Pastor in a revitalization in West Virginia, and I have
baptized individuals on 3 different continents. I used to not like reading anything but
the Bible but being in the ministry I have discovered some great books. Some of the
books that have made an impact on me are: “Radical” by David Platt, “B.L.E.S.S.” by
David and John Ferguson, “Extreme Ownership” by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin,
“Passion For The Heart Of God” by John Willis Zumwalt, and The Insanity of God” by
Nik Ripkin with Greg Lewis. I am currently working on My master’s degree in Christian
Leadership through Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Love being out on my
motorcycle and relaxing. I most like being on my bike when my wife is with me, and
we just cruise our city getting to know each area.
