| 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. 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! | ||
