Ministers & Staff

Matthew and his family have been serving with us at Ninth Avenue since October of 2019. His love of ministry has been a life-long desire, finding its true start during his time in the youth group at the Savannah Church of Christ. His ministry journey has included stops in Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee and mission work in Romania.

Matthew and his wife, Blair, are the parents of four children, Collins, Vance, Britton, and London.

Being a part of the Ninth Avenue family has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. My family loves this community and we are glad to call Haleyville home.

Josh was hired as our Youth Intern in September 2024. He comes to us from Henderson, Tennessee. He has worked at Western Kentucky Youth Camp over the course of three years, and he has also volunteered with the Henderson church of Christ youth group as a chaperone, driver, and Bible class teacher.

In his spare time, Josh enjoys playing pickleball, cornhole, disc golf, and ultimate frisbee.

I love being able to work with the youth group and being a kid with them, while also diving deep into the word of God.

Adriana began her work as our secretary in 2020. In their spare time, she and her husband, Will, enjoy the lake and spending time with friends and family.

Adriana and Will have two daughters, Livy and Lainey.

Neal has been primarily responsible for our digital ministry for over two decades. This has included website creation and development, social media management, and live-streaming. In addition to his work at Ninth Avenue, he has also developed websites for a professional sports team, a former pro athlete, and a state government agency.

Neal is married to Brenda, and they have two grown children.
