Matt Hammett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matt Hammett is the pastor of Flood, a San Diego church that began in 2000. He graduated from Bethel Seminary with a Masters of Divinity. Inspired by the Old Testament verse Joel 2:28, "I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions" (NIV), Flood was created with the desire that congregants would be flooded with the Spirit that God has promised to pour out on all his people. The church's band, Future of Forestry (formerly Something Like Silas), incorporates a variety of musical genres into their songs to provide a musically and lyrically mature platform for worship.
In Spring of 2006, Flood moved from College Avenue Baptist Church to Kearny High School. Flood has grown from 300 worshipers on its first night to around 2,000 on a typical Sunday[1]. Small groups such as "community groups," "growth groups," and "interest groups" have been set up to facilitate spiritual maturing and fellowship within the church body. Matt's passion for assisting Africa is evident through the church's commitment to missions in Malawi and the support of organizations such as Children of the Nations and Invisible Children.
In November of 2006, Matt announced his desire to get involved in curbing the spread of Malaria on the continent of Africa.
