Matthew was accepted into Liberty University and attended with a focus in physical therapy until he received his calling for Youth Ministry. During his first semester at Liberty, he strived after the Lord and during that time, the Lord began to change his heart to have a passion for the youth, a desire to disciple the youth, and to share the Gospel to a generation of students that have never heard the name of Jesus before. Matthew changed his degree to Youth Ministry in late 2018. Matthew worked at various camp ministries and internships during the time at Liberty University. Some of these opportunities include; SummerShine Ministries, Truett Conference Center and Camp, and even a children’s ministry intern at Second Baptist Church of Houston Texas. In December of 2021, Matthew received his Bachelor’s degree from Liberty University specializing in Youth Ministry. During his time at Liberty, he met Alethea Brown. They started dating in August of 2019 and got married on February 12th, 2022. Alethea specializes in Forensic Science which she obtained at Liberty University. On March 1st, 2022, Matthew began working at Bethel Memorial Baptist Church as the new Assistant Pastor of Youth and Christian Education.

Kathy Crivellaro

Kathy grew up in Alpha, NJ, and is the fourth of five children. One of her earliest memories, at age 4, is the day that her mother was baptized on a Sunday evening at church. The look on her mom’s face when she talked about being baptized made an indelible impression. At age 5, Kathy began to attend Sunday School with her mom and always had a desire to serve the Lord. She told her first Sunday School teacher that she wanted to be a missionary in Alaska to share Jesus with the Eskimos.
