ABOUT
MATTHEW BARNETT
As a boy, the preacher’s son had a dream:
a church that remained open 24 hours a day, 365 days
a year. This church would serve the inner-cities’
physical and spiritual needs, bringing a message of
hope to the seemingly hopeless. The
Dream
Center is the fulfillment of that dream.
Matthew Barnett founded the
Dream
Center in 1993, starting an international
movement reaching from South America to Sweden.
Matthew Barnett, best-selling author
of
The Church That Never Sleeps and pastor
of one of America’s fastest growing churches,
is one of the most dynamic voices God is using in
Christianity today. At the age of 34, he is fulfilling
the roles of people who have been in the ministry
for years. Son of Pastor Tommy Barnett, best-selling
author, church growth pioneer, and pastor of what
Time Magazine noted as “One of the three largest
churches in America,” Matthew has learned powerful
principles of ministry, which have gifted him in founding
The
Dream Center in Los Angeles.
