Matthew Ayers is the Executive Director of Dream Centers of Colorado Springs, an independent nonprofit devoted to bringing health and hope to the most vulnerable people in Colorado Springs, helping them to rebuild their dreams. One outreach of New Life Church is to keep Matthew on staff and send him out full-time to lead the Dream Centers locally.

He loves people and is passionate about their unique stories. He desires that communities experience health holistically as they develop a culture and lifestyle of serving. He helps his local church plan missional strategies including justice and community development initiatives through indigenous leadership in 35 countries. He also oversees the local ministry expression of our fellowship. Matthew is a Washington State native and a graduate of USAFA, Georgia College & State University and Fuller Theological Seminary.

He enjoys travel, reading, the beautiful outdoors, and music. You might catch him adventure racing or with an Americano in hand at a local cafe.
