Speaker Spotlight: Matt Stewart

Matt Stewart, Lead Vocalist for The Soldiers and Sons Christian Music Group is leading us in 2024. Solders and Sons performs regionally and at national christian music festivals. Matt is also the Worship Leader and band director for Waynesburg Bible Chapel.

I became interested in music at a young age. My mother and father were a huge influence in my life. They saw early on that God had given me gifts and talents to play and sing. They encouraged me to use them for His glory. I remember very vividly being in my dad’s hospital room and telling him that I had decided to work on music full time. I enjoy sharing music because it not only is a form of worship but it can inspire us in a way words can’t do alone.
