Ministry From Behind the Lens
Matt Black is a young entrepreneur with a creative eye and a heart for Christ. As the founder of Matt Black Media, Matt balances the growing demands of his burgeoning career as a performance photographer with his studies at Cedarville University, where he is a junior majoring in broadcasting, digital media, and journalism.
After high school, Matt served as an intern with Word of Life Fellowship, where he discovered his passion for the artistic and ministry possibilities that lay within the lens of his camera. Matt soon thereafter recognized his ability to assist musical artists in conveying the message of Christ.
On this week’s episode of the Cedarville Stories podcast, Matt offers valuable insight to fellow young photographers, encouraging them to “embrace opportunities and say yes.” In 2023, he heeded this advice by responding to a last-minute text invitation to photograph Winter Jam in Tampa, Florida.
This decision opened his eyes to the potential impact of his work and future opportunities. Since that initial concert, Matt’s willingness to seize opportunities and his enthusiasm for supporting the ministries of Christian musicians have enabled him to collaborate with Crowder, For King and Country, Lecrae, and Danny Gokey. His work has gained exposure on prominent social media platforms and various marketing campaigns.
Tune in to the podcast to learn more about Matt and how he contributes to the ministries of others from behind the scenes.
