Our Staff

St. Matthew’s is blessed with passionate and wonderful staff. Our staff, in cconjunction with members of St. Matthew’s, plan and execute God’s Mission and Ministry with and for our community and beyond.

Rev. Lesley Radius

Senior Pastor (through Feb. 16 2025)

(817) 292-1338

Pastor Lesley accepted the call to serve St. Matthew’s beginning April 1, 2020. It was a challenging time as COVID shut down our in-person worship services and fellowship opportunities. She worked very hard to meet her parishioners, many via online resources, and to keep the ministries of St. Matthew’s thriving. In February 2025, Pr. Lesley’s call to St. Matthew’s ended as she accepted a new call to a church in Honolulu – a place where she could be near family. St. Matthew’s was blessed by her ministry with and to us, and we wish her God’s blessings in her new home.

We Are Reconciling in Christ

We believe that when we say all are welcome to Christ’s table, that all are in fact welcome, no matter their race, ethnicity, nationality or who they love.
