Mat and Grace Court have spent the past eight years in the eastern townships. They attended both Champlain College and Bishop's University and have recently become teachers in the area. They met at Champlain and were married in the summer of 2007.
Mat moved to the townships from the Gaspe Peninsula to go to school. Aside from his studies, Mat has been a member of both the Champlain Cougars and the Bishop's Gaiters football teams. He is also a Canadian Powerlifting Champion. Through these experiences, Mat has learned to work hard, think harder and laugh loud. He has counselled and directed at various Christian camps and enjoys working with people of all ages.
A native of Lennoxville, Grace also played varsity sports at Bishop's University, where she was a member of the Lady Gaiter Rugby team. During her time at Champlain College, she also served in the Armed Forces Reserves. Coming from a family of six children, Grace has learned the value of patience as well as the value of friendship and cooperation. Grace has also directed and produced plays for young people and is looking forward to bringing her creativity and enthusiasm to the program.
Matt and Grace both share a passion for sharing the Gospel of Christ with young people. As the live-in mentors, they will provide day to day programming and guidance to student participants.
