Contact Matt Uitti: ![]()
Wife: Adrienne
Life Verse: Psalm 86:9-12
Birthday: December 24th
Education: BA in Ministry Leadership from Cornerstone University
Brief History: I grew up in Troy and attended WBC since birth. I attended Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids 01-02 then transferred to Lawrence Technological University in Southfield Michigan to study Architecture. While attending LTU, I was working with the student ministry at Woodside of Troy and God was igniting the passion inside my heart for full-time, vocational work with students. In the fall of 06, I followed God's direction and transferred into an online ministry program through Cornerstone University. I love Architecture and am confidant God will use my education and interests for His glory. However, everyday in ministry is an adventure and I have the opportunity to 'build' and design programs and relationships to point others toward the Savior. God has so beautifully designed and directed my life- he is my Architect. With all that I have, I desire to design with Him.
Christian Testimony: I made a commitment to Jesus Christ in the second grade. I grew in my thirst for God's Word through middle school and high school. God used many teachers, missionaries, church leaders and mission's trips throughout the years to encourage me to grow in my relationship with Him.
Major Influences: My amazing Family, Mentor and friend Steve Zarrilli, a handful of solid pastors, friends and professors and scores of authors.
Ministry Focus: Without holding anything back, to devote my life to Jesus Christ. To point students and young adults toward a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Ministry Goals: Help the greatest number of Middle School and High School students come to know and grow in the refreshment found only in Jesus Christ.
