about Matt Brewer

Matt was immersed into music at a young age as he became part of a pastoral and musical family. As he grew into adulthood music remained paramount in his life and he served various denominations throughout the United States. He has composed numerous compositions and has written 3 full length musicals. When not "doing" music, he teaches Science classes at Collegiate School of Memphis. Matt heard the call to ministry early on but took many paths to fulfill his ultimate calling. One of his greatest blessings is coming back home to the Southern Baptist church and beginning his journey as Worship Pastor at Cherry Road. In August 2013, Matt met his beautiful wife, Jenny, and quickly knew she was the one God had sent Him to be his partner in ministry. It is no wonder they met through their mutual music interests. Matt heard Jenny sing at a Karaoke event, and the next night, she was singing in the church choir. Matt and Jenny love hanging out with friends, movies, quiet evenings at home, and playing with their fur baby, Daisy, the cutest Shi Tzu ever!

About Ronnie Elcan

Ronnie Elcan was born to Ronnie and Darlene Elcan on January 27, 1986. The Lord saved him. During his teenage years he studied and practiced other religions ( with Buddhism being the last), before God called him to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. After school one day Ronnie came under powerful conviction about the wrong path he was following. Upon realizing this, he fell to his knees in repentance, surrendering his life to Christ at the age of 17. Not long after, God called Ronnie into ministry. He has preached evangelistically in several churches, in tent revivals, open-air preaching and street preaching. For three years Ronnie interned for Bellevue Baptist Church’s missions department with the urban community, leading outreach projects and preaching to the homeless. Ronnie is currently finishing his Bachelor’s degree at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary. He is serving as the Associate Pastor of Cherry Road Baptist, where he teaches youth Sunday school, youth Bible study, coordinates all community outreach and preaches for Sunday night worship.
