Matt Ousdahl

As the Lead Pastor at ACC, Matt helps to cast vision for ACC and our various ministries. He loves to preach and teach God’s Word to others, encouraging them in their faith journey. The most rewarding facet of his ministry? Being able to share Jesus with people and watch God change their lives for the better.

Even more than being a pastor, his favorite titles are “husband” and “father”. He and his wife, Melissa, have been married for 15 years, and according to Matt, “She’s easily my best friend and the prettiest girl in any room.” Together, they have three daughters: Michaela, Madelin and Molly.

Matt grew up in California, but moved to the East Coast in 1999. He enjoys being around people, especially family.  Travel, Texas Hold’em, and improvisational comedy are among his top favorite things to do.

Sarah Pead

Sarah serves at ACC as our Communications Director, and has a heart to share the life-changing message of Christ through visual arts and other relevant media. Having grown up in southeast Virginia, Sarah is an east coast girl at heart, so she is beyond thankful to be a part of the growing ministry of ACC.

Her life’s mission is to seek Jesus as a wife, mom, and artist. She’ll also be the first to tell you that getting up early and running a 5k is one of her favorite weekday activities.

Sarah has been married to her true love, Dustin, for 11 years. They have two wild and free children, Ethan and Aubrey, love traveling, trying out new restaurants, and getting tattoos!
