Staff of Highland presbyterian
|
PASTOR- REV. MATTHEW BENZ-WHITTINGTON
Email- matthew@highlandpresby.org Matthew and his family, Bethany, son Leo and daughter Georgia moved to Maryville in July of 2020 to join Highland and their ministry. Before coming to Maryville they spent three years in Longmont, CO and had a great adventure out west, but felt God was calling them back to their southern roots. Matthew is a native Tennessean; born and raised in Memphis and attended UT Chattanooga, earning a degree in religion. Bethany was born in Morristown, TN and was raised outside of Atlanta, GA. Matthew has experience serving in church camps, hospital chaplaincy, and various sized congregations. Youth ministry and service to others are places where he has found much joy in my ministry. |
