Matt and Carolyn Tapie finally made the long trek from Dallas, Texas to Springfield last weekend. They arrived Monday night and are very excited to call Springfield their home.
The Tapies have lived in Texas since 1997. Matt and Carolyn both graduated from Abilene Christian University in 2001 with their bachelors degrees. Carolyn graduated with a B.A. in Biochemistry and a minor in Bible, and Matt graduated with a B.S. in Christian Ministry and a minor in Philosophy. After ACU they were married in Greenville, South Carolina (Carolyn’s hometown).
In 2002 they started graduate work at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. Matt and Carolyn attended the Crestview Church of Christ in Waco where they led a young adult Bible class. While at Baylor, Carolyn attended law school and Matt attended Baylor’s Institute of Church-State Studies. They both graduated from Baylor in the summer of 2004 and then moved to Dallas, Texas.
In Dallas, Matt served the Farmers Branch Church of Christ as a Spiritual Formation Minister while pursuing a Master of Divinity at ACU. Carolyn worked at Hughes and Luce LLP (a Texas law firm) and practiced complex litigation and labor/employment law.
In January of this year Matt was accepted to the Catholic University of America’s School of Theology and Religious Studies to pursue a Ph.D. in Theological Ethics. He graduated from ACU with the M.Div two weeks ago and will begin classes at CUA at the end of the month. Carolyn will be working at King and Spalding LLP, and she begins her new job in early September. They are very thankful that God has called them to the Springfield Church of Christ and are eager to help this family of believers serve the Lord.
