Matthew Joss
Director of Young Adult Ministries
Born in Blacksburg, Matthew has lived most of his life in the Southeast. After graduating from Bryan College, he and his wife Sarah went to South Korea to teach English. After a stint in North Carolina working on degrees in apologetics and philosophy from Southern Evangelical Seminary, he went to the University of St. Andrews in Scotland to work on a PhD in analytic theology.
Coming full circle, Matthew arrived back in Blacksburg in the summer of 2022 to work at The River. Matthew, Sarah, and their son Brannan are excited to again be in the land of mountains and trees to do what they love best—helping people live life to the full through the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Other skills include: eating doughnuts, watching movies, and collecting (never quite enough) books.
