Pastor Dave Matchette

Hi! I’m Dave Matchette, the Pastor of Young Adult ministry at Cornerstone. I teach one of our intergenerational Life Groups on Sundays, and I lead the young adult THRiVE meeting every 2nd and 4th Wednesday at 7pm.

We’re working on being authentic Christians who know what we believe and share it with the community around us – especially those in the 18-30’s range, who have great questions but want an honest and believable answer. My wife Sarah and I were married in July of 2004 and our first son, Kenan, arrived in April of 2009. Our second son, Ezra, arrived in November of 2010. I earned a Health & Phys. Ed. degree from East Stroudsburg University and a Master of Divinity degree from Biblical Theological Seminary in nearby Hatfield, PA.

I love good coffee, all sports, fiction novels, and an occasional game of chess - wanna play?
