Biblical truth shared with passion, humor, and heart.

Biblical Truth. Practical Hope. Lasting Impact.

I’m Matt Ousdahl — a husband, dad, pastor, entrepreneur, and speaker passionate about helping people discover that Jesus really is enough for every part of life. As the Lead Pastor of Arundel Christian Church in Glen Burnie, Maryland, I teach weekly to a diverse congregation of over 1,200 people while also casting vision, equipping leaders, and guiding our church toward the Great Commission both locally and globally.

Matt, Melissa, Michaela, Madelin, and Molly

Ousdahl Family

Matt and his wife Melissa love doing life and ministry together while raising their three daughters—Michaela, Madelin, and Molly. From mission trips to family dinners, the Ousdahls bring energy, laughter, and faith into everything they do.
