Father Matthew’s Biography

Father Matthew Floyd, mission priest to St. Nino Orthodox Church (ROCOR) in Still­water and Enid. 

Father Matthew was born and grew up in Oklahoma City. After graduating from Putnam City North High School he attended both Phillips University in Enid, OK and Transylvania University in Lexington, KY, graduating with an undergraduate degree in Religion. 

He and his wife Rachele, met while in high school and married after college, when they moved to Newberg, OR where Rachele completed her doctorate in Psychology. After graduate school, they returned to Oklahoma where they became Orthodox in Tulsa, OK.  After Rachele’s internship, Father and Matushka moved to Claremore, OK and started a family. 
 
Fr. Matthew worked at Lexus of Tulsa as a technician and homeschooled their four children. 
Matushka Rachele worked at the Oklahoma Forensic Center in Vinita and later as director of behavioral health at Indian Health Care Resource Center in Tulsa. While living in Claremore, they also helped found an Orthodox mission parish for which Fr. Matthew was ordained a priest. 
 
About a year after his ordination to the priesthood, Fr. Matthew started driving to Oklahoma City to assist at St. Benedict Orthodox Church and started serving Liturgy in Stillwater for the newly established St. Nino mission parish.
 
After about a year of alternating serving Liturgy on Sundays between Claremore, Oklahoma City, and Stillwater, the Claremore mission was closed, and Father began alternating between Oklahoma City and Stillwater. July of 2018, Father and Matushka moved to Oklahoma City where Matushka now has a private practice and Fr. Matthew continues to homeschool their children. 
 
August of 2019, Fr. Matthew was assigned rector of St. Nino mission and will serve St. Nino in both Stillwater and Enid. Fr. Matthew is a graduate from the Pastoral School of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America.
