CWB Marriage Seminar Speakers…

Vern Matthews, Elder

Vern was born and raised in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. He came to faith in Jesus as a middle-schooler, after hearing the gospel preached regularly in his local church. Vern attended college at the University of Mary Washington. It was during his time as a college student that the Lord began to impress upon his heart a deeper passion for God's glory and the local church. The Lord placed an unshakeable desire in Vern's heart to serve the local church in pastoral ministry. To that end, Vern furthered his studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he earned a Master of Arts in Christian Studies.

Vern has been married to his wife Sam since 2013, and they have two amazing kids, Asher and Ella. In 2018, Vern and Sam followed the Lord's prompting, coming to Philadelphia with a desire to love the city and be a part of planting churches.
