Matt McIninch was born on November 16, 1994.  He was raised in Tushka, OK and has attended church at Southside since he was born.  In May of 2014, he was called to serve at Southside as Associate Student Minister.  He received his Bachelor's Degree in Social Studies Education from Southeastern Oklahoma State University in December 2018.  He began as the Student Minister in March of 2019 following the departure of Bro. Jim Lewis. After several months of seeking the Lord through prayer and scripture, Matt began leading worship in March of 2020. In July of 2020, the church voted to change Matt's title to Student/Worship Minister. Matt's goal is to see people get excited about serving Jesus Christ wherever and whenever they can!
