Santi Matthews

My name is Santi Matthews. I am serving as associate pastor at Community UCC in Raleigh, NC. I enjoy creating intergenerational programming and crafting worship services that help us to feel inspired and deepen our experiences of connection to the Divine. I especially enjoy creating meaningful rituals that allow for opportunities for communal healing and connection. I also serve as our youth minister and am always grateful for the chance to sit at the feet of our thoughtful, authentic, bold, quirky, and clever teens.   


I am married and enjoy cooking and travel with my husband. I also delight in time with our children and our young grandson.   


We have a sweet dog and are often focused on her and her love of life. I also enjoy playing cards and board games, photography, and paper crafts - most recently, book binding.
