After graduating from the University of Illinois in 2005, Mr. Matthew Cunningham began his career in education as a public school English teacher.  In 2012, Mr. Cunningham temporarily stepped away from teaching and soon began preparing for ministry by pursuing a Master’s Degree in Christian Studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.  While pursuing this degree part-time, he also worked as a carpenter, served as an assistant to his pastor, and began teaching Bible classes at Aurora Christian. He has been blessed to be able to put his training and life experience into practice here at ACS, helping students to know and to love God and His Word.  Mr. Cunningham also enjoys hiking, camping, playing games, competing in sports, and cheering for ACS teams.  He, his wife, and his two children are active members of Highpoint Church.
