Matthew and his wife, Beth, moved to the St. Cloud area in August of 2007. After visiting several other churches, they finally felt at home at Riverside.  Since starting at Riverside, Matthew has served as both Elder and Deacon while also volunteering in Kingdom Kids and with teaching Sunday School.  In the spring of 2018, Matthew was hired as part-time Youth Director. 

"I am very excited about the upcoming school year and the challenges of transitioning from a youth event once every few months to a weekly youth group.  I am excited about seeing where our relationship with the Harvest Youth Group can take our own youth in their spiritual growth and development."
