Having served churches in Alabama, Texas, and Virginia, the Hudson family came to the Knoxville area in October 2008 from Houston, TX after completing an internship at Grace family Baptist Church with Dr. Voddie Baucham. Matt, his wife Emily, and their children Hannah, Josh, Caroline, Sarah Kate, Evie, Annabelle, Clara, and Joseph love visiting the Smokies and playing with their dogs Fletcher & Lily. Matt also really loves good coffee, Mexican food, disc golf, and UT football.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. “ Hebrews 12:1-2
