About

My name is Matthew Choe Hoskinson, and I am an ordained minister, a marathon runner, a songwriter, and a certified coach for pastors and church planters.

The experiences God has given me uniquely equip me to serve you.

I have pastored churches large and small, in the city and in the suburbs.

One church I led was founded before the Revolutionary War; another church I helped plant launched in 2020.

I’ve coached pastors in places as different as Harlem and Cincinnati, Brooklyn and Napa Valley.

They’ve come from all kinds of theological traditions—Assemblies of God, Calvary Chapel, Church of God in Christ, Evangelical Covenant, Reformed Baptist, non-denominational.

And I’ve helped them lead their churches from the wholeness that is theirs in Jesus.

It would be a joy to come alongside you too.

You can also find me on social media @RevDrMatthew.

I look forward to walking with you in your leadership journey!
