Gardner Selected Pastor

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Quincy Gardner as the new pastor of St. Matthew COCHUSA in Monroe, LA. Pastor Gardner brings over 20 years in the ministry to St. Matthew with extensive experience in evangelism and outreach. We are confident that God will use his unique set of spiritual gifts, talent and skills as St. Matthew's expands its outreach into the Monroe Community and reach souls for Jesus Christ. Joining Pastor Gardner is his wife Kartesha and their sons Zaylen and Kaiden. The family currently resides in Bossier City/Shreveport but will relocate to the Monroe area in January 2023. Be on the lookout for an announcement and invitation from St. Matthew for an official welcome service and reception for Pastor Gardner next month. Please remember St. Matthew, Pastor Gardner, and the family during their transition. We are excited to have them as part of the Southwestern Diocese Family
