Our Staff
Meet The Twain Harte Bible Church Staff
Matt Funk
Senior Pastor
Pastor Matt came to Twain Harte Bible Church, first as our Youth Pastor, but after serving in that capacity for 3 years, was then called as our Senior Pastor in 2005 where he has served as a passionate and gifted preacher/teacher of God’s Word, bringing to life the scriptures through his sermons and studies. He and his wife, Kathy are both originally from Canada, as you’ll recognize from their slight accent. Married in 1996, they have four children. Pastor Matt, or PM as he is often referred, thrives on seeing people studying and applying God’s Word to their lives. In an age where many preachers have watered down the Scriptures, PM unashamedly speaks the truth with abandon, considering it a privilege to serve the body at Twain Harte Bible Church.
Noel Rathmel
Youth Director
Noel came to us after serving as a youth director, and graduating from Southwestern Bible College in Phoenix, Arizona. He especially enjoys working with teens and seeing them make life-changing decisions for Christ. His goal is to bring them to a realization that their relationship with Christ must be their own and must be growing. God has blessed him with a beautiful wife, Jasmine, and sons Bryce, Mason and Isaiah. He enjoys coaching activities at Twain Harte Elementary as well as spending time with his family, playing sports and being outdoors.
Candace Thomazin
Children's Director
Candace began attending church at Twain Harte Bible in 2015. She became the Children’s director in early 2018. Candace moved here from Southern California, where she was a preschool teacher. Candace married her husband Miles in May 2016 and they welcomed their son Steven in September 2018. Candace has a passion for working with children and loves teaching them about how much Jesus loves them.
Pam Kitchen
Secretary
Pam, her husband, John, and their three daughters, Emma, Abby & Molly, moved to Twain Harte in 2010 and very soon after began attending Twain Harte Bible Church. Pam joined the staff as secretary in December of 2013 after having been a homeschooling mom for 12 years.
