Matt Thomas
Executive Director
Firm Foundations Ministries

As a formerly incarcerated individual who God found, Matt reaped the benefits from an aftercare program in Arizona, He saw the great need for a similar kind of program here in
the Midwest after moving to Wichita in 2011. After two years of prayer, planning, brick walls, and dead ends, God’s spirit began to move in a mighty way. An unlikely team of people was brought together, and doors that had been closed for years began to open. Now ten years later there are seven houses in four different cities, and five total church
plants inside and outside of prison. Matt and his wife Ashley live in Shawnee, KS. with their six children. They have also been blessed with three grandsons from their older daughters. Matt is as a published author, preaches, and consults with organizations focusing on re-entry programming and church planting. As the Executive Director, Matt provides visionary leadership and oversight for the ministry.
