About

Matt Hook is the Senior Pastor at Huron River Methodist. This involves preaching and mutual discipleship with others, which is doing life together and providing as many ministry opportunities for as many people as possible. He loves God and loves people, and in this role he get to do both! And, he gets to come alongside people as God is transforming their lives. He loves the people, the post . Yes, we have an amazing campus that points us to God through His creation, but the people and what they do for others and how much they care about one another and people in need who have yet to know about Christ is the best thing.
