Matt Osgood
I felt called to ministry in July 2000 when I first surrendered my life to Jesus. At the age of 16, that pivotal moment set me on a lifelong journey of faith and service to the Body of Christ. Over the years, I have had the privilege of serving in several pastoral roles, allowing me to walk alongside people in every season of life, from celebrating victories to navigating hardships. I joined the staff of The Rock Church in April of 2025 as the lead pastor.
My greatest joy is my family. I have been happily married to my high school sweetheart, Alicia, since 2004, and together we are raising three amazing teenagers—Anna, Zach, and Sam —who keep life fun, full, and always interesting. Our home is ruled by two tiny dogs who are unaware of their size but fully convinced they’re in charge (and they probably are).
Born and raised in the beautiful state of Maine, I have never lost my love for the outdoors. Whether it’s hunting, fly fishing, or exploring nature, I find restoration in God’s creation. I am also an avid reader and a firm believer that there’s no such thing as too much coffee—especially when diving into a good book. As a die-hard New England Patriots fan, I am still not ready to talk about the heartbreak of the 2007 season (and possibly never will be).
As the lead pastor at The Rock Church, I am passionate about fostering a church culture that is welcoming, authentic, and centered on Jesus. I believe the local church should be a place where people experience God’s presence, grow in their faith, and build meaningful relationships. My heart is to equip and empower believers to step into their God-given calling and make a tangible impact in their communities.
Above all, my mission is simple: to establish the Kingdom of God here on earth by loving God, loving people, and helping others do the same.
