Pastor and First Lady
Matthew and Josie Stenseth
Meet Our Pastor & First Lady
Pastor Matt Stenseth has faithfully served the Muscatine community and surrounding areas for over six years as a local youth pastor, Section 6 Youth Representative, and currently as the Iowa Youth Secretary for IYC. His heart for people is genuine, pure, and unmistakable the moment you meet him. Pastor Matt often describes himself as a “happy-go-lucky guy,” and it shows in his joyful spirit and love for the church. He knows how to flow in the Spirit, bring the Word with power, and lead our services under the anointing of the Holy Ghost.
First Lady Josie serves faithfully alongside her husband in every season of ministry. She is currently learning both piano and American Sign Language as she continues to grow her gifts to serve the church. Her kindness, grace, and steady support make her a treasured part of our leadership family.
Together, Pastor Matt and Sister Josie are raising three wonderful boys—a lively and loving trio that brings joy and energy wherever they go. We are incredibly blessed to have this powerhouse family leading and loving Christian Life Church. Their passion for God and people is helping shape the future of Muscatine, Iowa, and we invite you to get to know them!
