Matt Balocca is a native Californian who came to the Central Valley from Los Angeles in 2014. A couple of years prior to leaving Los Angeles, Matt came to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Since moving to Fresno, Matt and his family became members of Grace Presbyterian Fresno, which was then called Grace Clovis. After a few years of membership, Matt contributed to the team of Sunday School teachers, and he was nominated for the office of Ruling Elder. In 2017 Matt was ordained as a Ruling Elder, and he has continued to participate in Sunday School teaching for all ages, along with midweek youth teaching in apologetics.
Matt continues to lead the outreach arm of Grace Presbyterian Church, which includes sidewalk ministry, tract distribution, and evangelism throughout Fresno.
