OUR LEADERSHIP
Each Renovation Church location has its own live pastor who both teaches and leads that location! Meet the pastors from each of our locations below.

MATT MARTINEZ
SHOREVIEW LOCATION PASTOR
Matt is the current location pastor of Renovation Church Shoreview. Matt and his wife, Ally, have two children, Lola and Luca.

He is a seminary graduate who has served in ministry for over 15 years and has a passion for leading and pastoring.
Matt carries a deep vision for the church: that people would find true stability in an unstable world by anchoring themselves in God’s Word, engaging in authentic community and discipleship, and helping people discover and follow the God who saves, heals, and transforms.
