| Rev. Kevin T. Shively | ||
 |
Senior Pastor | |
| kshively@stmatt.org | ||
| Pastor Shively is a native of York and a “son” of St. Matthew Church. He is a graduate of York College of Pennsylvania and Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary. He and his wife Susan parent four children, two sons and two daughters. Ordained in 1984, he served three congregations prior to “returning” to St. Matthew in 2002. Active in the church throughout his life, the seeds for serving the church as a pastor were planted in the important relationships and experiences he had with the pastors and members of St. Matthew church during his childhood and youth. He continues to be energized, amazed, inspired and astounded by the amazing grace and love of God given through Jesus Christ, and made known by the power of the Holy Spirit in Word and Sacrament. | ||
| Rev. Keith C. Fair | ||
 |
Associate Pastor | |
| kfair@stmatt.org | ||
Pastor Keith Fair began his ministry at St. Matthew in July 2010. He lives in Glen Rock, the town in which he was raised. He is a graduate of Capital University and Trinity Lutheran Seminary, both in Columbus, Ohio, and was ordained in 2000. He has served two congregations prior to St. Matthew: Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lansdale, PA; and Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in Camp Hill, PA. Pastor Fair is married to Debbie Doubrava, and together they share a son (Joseph), two cats, and three dogs. The three humans in the family enjoy being outdoors, caring for their home, reading, music, movies, and acting exceedingly silly (The other five members of the family do, too, except they are never silly). Pastor Fair’s commitment to the church stems from his love and gratitude to Jesus Christ. “I know that Jesus loves all of the people that God has created, and so he has called us to love and serve one another. We love God back by loving and caring for God’s creation and God’s people.” Pastor Fair is also committed to making the gospel message relevant for people’s lives – all of their lives, not just one or two hours a week. |

| Rev. Diane G. Wenthe | ||
 |
Visitation Pastor | |
| dwenthe@stmatt.org | ||
| Pastor Wenthe grew up in Iowa, graduated from Iowa State University, and lived in towns from California to New Jersey before moving to Pennsylvania with her family in 1971. She is the mother of three and grandmother of nine. Having begun study at The Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg in 1987, she interned at St. Matthew and was ordained in 1991. Nine years later, she happily returned to St. Matthew as Visitation Pastor and now has responsibilities in the areas of visitation, Eucharistic Ministry, the Wholistic Health Team, our Konde Diocese partnership, Christ Care, and worship participation. When she’s not at St. Matthew, one is likely to find her babysitting her grandchildren, reading, or traveling – and taking lots of pictures – no matter where she is! | ||
