Ed & Jessica Hodges

St Matt’s is led by Ed and Jessica Hodges. Former students of the city’s university, Ed and Jess have a real heart for the people of Exeter and a passion to see them experience God’s love. Jess is also our Kids and Families Pastor.

Together with their two daughters they moved from London in 2019 and are so excited to be ‘home’.
