Matthew Parker

Regional Minister (Part-Time)

Matthew Parker has spent 40+ years serving in Toronto’s inner city through Yonge Street Mission, and leads Church at the Mission in a trauma-informed setting where faith and compassion meet real life. 

Matthew is married to Barbara, and they live in Frankford, Ontario.

He’s also a musician—songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer—who loves creating and sharing music. Away from ministry and music, his favourite role is being “Poppy” to his two grandsons, Stephen and Matthew.

Matthew has music degrees from Humber College and York University and his Masters from Wycliffe College, UofT. 

His life purpose is: “To know Christ and make him known” (Philippians 3:10)
