Matt Nelson

Matt Nelson grew up in the small town of Antioch, IL. After studying jazz performance and arranging at Columbia College Chicago, Matt developed a reputation as one of Chicago’s most versatile keyboardists – performing and recording with and arranging for countless artists, including Gary Sinise and the Lieutenant Dan Band, and hip-hop artist Lupe Fiasco. With performances ranging from local jazz clubs to international festival tours, spanning styles from jazz to rock, to electronica, to R&B, Matt’s musical experiences have taken him around the world and back.

After moving to Bentonville in 2017, Matt and his family quickly found a spiritual home at FUMC Bentonville. Having played and led at churches of different denominations and with various traditions, Matt brings this diversity of experience to FUMC’s music team. Matt plays at FUMC’s traditional service and the contemporary worship service, The Gathering, and he is an integral part of the community’s charitable singalong, Beer & Hymns. 

Whether writing custom choral arrangements for the Chancel Choir, recording original music for announcement videos, creating the church’s weekly sermon podcast, or jamming pop tunes on FUMC’s TikTok, Matt is enthusiastic about using his talents and experience to bring high-quality music to FUMC Bentonville.
