Our Pastor

It was there that Pastor Matt perceived God’s calling on his life to pastoral ministry, and after working a year to save money, attended Zion Bible College (then located in Barrington, Rhode Island) to prepare for ministry. After graduating with a BA in Bible in 1997, Pastor Matt returned to upstate New York and in July, 1998 was elected pastor of Kingsboro Assembly of God in the city of Gloversville, New York. During his lengthy tenure there, Pastor Matt met and married Elizabeth Marcy in October, 2000 and together they have been blessed with three incredible children; Sean, Nathan, and Madelyn.
Elizabeth (Marcy) Splittgerber was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts and grew up in the communities just north of Boston’s north shore. Growing up in a Christian home, Liz always had a great sensitivity to the Holy Spirit and became a Christian at an early age. As a teenager, Liz’s family moved to Gloversville, New York and later (as a young woman) met Pastor Matt when she attended a church service on her birthday. Eight months later, Liz and Pastor Matt were married on October 7, 2000 and spent part of their honeymoon on the island of Martha’s Vineyard!
