Rev. Matt Desmarais

Associate Pastor

Hi, I’m Matt.

My wife, Liz (the Director of Worship and Operations at Trinity Burke) and have been married for two years. We live right next to Lake Royal in Fairfax and love to spend time walking around the lake with our dog, Luna. I’m an Anglican priest (Anglican Church in North America), serving as the Associate Pastor here at Trinity Burke.
Before joining the team at Trinity Burke, I served as the Student Ministry Director at Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Raleigh, NC and the Youth Director at Church of the Outer Banks Anglican in Nag’s Head, NC. I got my start in ministry as a family ministry intern at the church I grew up at, Truro Anglican.
I received a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies from Asbury Theological Seminary and Bachelor of Arts from George Mason University.
I wholeheartedly believe that encountering Jesus changes everything and am excited to see how the Holy Spirit will continue to work in and through our lives together in Burke.
