Matt Riley: Instrumental Music Director

As Music Director, I arrange, direct and write music for our band and orchestra. My job also includes recording and production as well as creating loops and synth sequencing to enhance the worship music. I love working here because I get to use and expand my creativity every week. I also enjoy being part of a phenomenal music department, working together to lead the church into an atmosphere of praise and worship.

I thoroughly enjoy composing music at work and as a hobby. Music has always been a part of my life as I was raised in a musical home with generations of professional musicians in my family.

The most influential person in my life thus far has been my grandmother who always encouraged me and made it possible for me to have piano lessons as a child. My wife Jody and I live in Brooklyn Park with our two daughters, Madison and Emma, our son Judah and our two cats, Stripes and Mustache.
