Children at the margins often face multiple layers of marginalization along with disability. Together, the Church has the resources and privileges to step into these areas and respond in love.

Bio:

CJ Matthews is the lead pastor of Bethany Church in Columbia, MD. The church is located in the business district of Columbia and has become a beacon of light in a place that doesn’t know it needs one. He loves watching the Dallas Cowboys, playing basketball, fishing, hunting, but most of all his amazing wife of six years, Katie. They adopted their one son, Thomas, from Baltimore City two years ago and this has taught them more about what it means to be adopted by God, to be loved unconditionally, and to trust God when life doesn’t make sense.
