We are parents to 4 littles, songwriters, pastors, and the senior leaders of the CityGate Church in Southaven, pastoring and carrying the vision for this apostolic and prophetic work in the greater Memphis. We’d love to get to know you. Sign up to know more and stay in the loop!
“Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.”

Matt and Natalie Coss are an emerging prophetic voice in the worship and arts community world wide. Nearly twenty years on and Matt and Natalie Coss are still discovering the joy and fulfillment of music and community.
In the midst of being parents [to now 4 young kids], Matt and Natalie are deeply impacted by their calling and the community that follows. “What inspires me is building and sustaining community culture that reflects heaven and the kingdom that Jesus came to establish. Without worship at the center, worship and love of Jesus we are merely a clanging gong and noisy cymbal, what a waste to have such an impact and sound, but not love, the true love that is God, and love for one another.” A room full of worshipping voices is where they sense their passion for the Kingdom and its pursuits.
The Coss’s are living examples of their teaching and mentoring practices. They consistently point to the surrendered life as the context and conduit for the empowered preaching of the Gospel and the ushering in of the kingdom. Matt unpacks this process when he points out to the young mentorees “Music is just a tool to draw people into a lifestyle of surrender. There must be discipleship and intentional relationship that follows music shared as worship.”
