New Wine, New Wineskins

Matthew Farlow

Matt Farlow and his family reside in Folsom, CA where Matt is the Director and Pastor of Inreach Ministries for Lakeside church. The Farlow4 (Matt, Kristin, Kayla, and Jacob) returned home to California in 2010 after spending 3 ½ years in St Andrews, Scotland where Matt completed a Ph.D. in Theology and Literature at The University of St Andrews. Matt’s doctoral research focused on humanity’s participation in God’s drama of reconciliation. His project investigated God’s imaginative performance in order to make further attempts in realizing the relationship between personhood (being) and how our identity helps to define our role and mission upon the world’s stage.

Before moving to Scotland, Matt completed the Master of Divinity in Theological Studies at Multnomah. While at Multnomah, he also served as Dr. Metzger’s assistant for New Wine and Cultural Encounters. Matt is a proud graduate of UC Davis (Go Ags!) where he wrestled and was blessed to meet his wife. Throughout their years of marriage, Kristin, Matt’s princess, and Matt have experienced the magnificent outpouring of the love of our Triune God. From this outpouring of love, Kristin and Matt have been blessed with two children—Kayla age 12 and Jacob age 10.

Matt loves reading, running, and wrestling—all three being done with the family! Amen Jesus!!
