Apostolic Tabernacle Pastoral Leadership

Rev. Matthew Coomer & Family 

Pastor Coomer was born and raised in Kentucky, where he was baptized at the age of 10 by his Pastor, Rev. James Loveless. Growing up in the church, he developed a deep love for God and sensed the call of God on his life early on. At age 19, he began his ministry under Rev. Raymond Clark, pastor of Truth Tabernacle United Pentecostal Church in Campbellsville, KY. In 2007, he met the love of his life, Vicki Rayner, from Prince Edward Island, Canada. The couple was united in marriage on July 26th, 2008, by Vicki's pastor, the late Rev. Bobby Ikerd. For the next seven years, Pastor Coomer worked as a Project Manager and Salesman while attending his home church in Campbellsville, KY, where he served as assistant to Pastor Raymond Clark. During this time, they welcomed their two children, Hailey and Jacob, into their blessed union. In 2016, they felt the call of God prompting them. After much prayer and fasting, and council they embraced the call of God. They went on to serve as assistant to the pastor in two churches during a transitional period involving pastoral changes. In October 2018, they began evangelizing full-time, traveling and preaching in over 50 different churches across the United States and Canada over the next 2 1/2 years. In May 2020, the Coomers were approached about taking over Bible Studies in the city of Owensboro, KY, initiated by Pastor Aaron Henson of Bethel Pentecostal Church from Evansville, IN. The Coomer family accepted the call and transitioned into this new field of labor.

God has been faithful, allowing them to conduct several Bible Studies and initiate regular church services in Owensboro. On March 26th, 2021, Rev. Matthew Coomer and his family were installed as Pastor and first family of Apostolic Tabernacle in Owensboro, KY, by Pastor Ron Tiller.

Under their leadership, the work in Owensboro has grown over the past five years. They look forward to continued growth and the addition of souls to the kingdom.
