Pastors Matthew and Siobhan Oliver have a great passion for God and are on an all-out pursuit to encounter Him, love on people, and see their region be blessed. They are not satisfied to just preach about God’s love; they want everyone, everywhere, to experience His love personally.
Residing in the Greater Sacramento Region of California, Matthew and Siobhan have invested their family, their hearts and their lives to partner with the good things that God is doing in their community. Their heart is to build more than just a church, but to also see hearts ignited, dreams and passions stirred, and to see each person in this community and the pastors in the River Network successful in what God has called them to.
Matthew & Siobhan met in Bible College in 1998 and have been leading ministries since graduating. In addition to pastoring The Family Church in Roseville, CA and running their businesses, Matthew is an author who has published several books: 40 Days of Greatness, 40 Days to a Healthy Heart, Victorious, Taking Back the Night, and the upcoming The Donkey and the Flea, he co-authored Victorious with Siobhan.
