Dr. Carolyn Starling Matthews
Dr. Carolyn Starling-Matthews has been working in God’s vineyard for over sixty years. She was baptized at the age of seven years old and seriously began her journey in the service of the Lord. She has worked diligently in practically every aspect of the church, doing whatever her hands could find to do.
She is an anointed woman of God who has traveled widely, speaking to congregations of all sizes. She does not take no for an answer but lives her life according to the dictates of Philippians 4:13: “We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.” Dr. Starling-Matthews is a progressive and innovative leader in Christendom who has developed programs, inspired fellow workers, provided arenas for people of all ages to work in the service of the Lord, and promoted excellence among God’s people. Some of the ecclesiastical positions she has held are:
Founding director of senior choir
Local missionary president
Licensed international missionary
State missionary president
Sunday school superintendent
State missionary auxiliary advisor
Church and pastoral administrator
International expansion board member
International convention coordinator
Founding editor of International Beacon Newsletter
Regional Convention Coordinator
Conference Coordinator and Facilitator
Believing strongly in the dictates of Apostle Paul in Acts 2:15, to “study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth,” she has sought to be a godly example of what God could do for his people. After marriage and five children, she completed the requirements for her bachelor of science degree, and while teaching school by day, she returned to night school time and time again to acquire advanced degrees and expertise in various subject areas. In due time she obtained:
Master of science in business education and administration
• Doctorate in education and administration
She is now retired from educational and administrative duties but continues her service to God as wife to her husband, Bishop John D. Matthews, and assists in the ministry by lending a helping hand to those who desire a closer walk with the Lord.
Dr. Starling-Matthews is the mother of five adult children, grandmother of nine granddaughters, and great-grandmother of two great-granddaughters. She is thankful for the legacy of holiness handed down from her own mother and has tried to live a life that exemplifies those same virtues. She humbly gives glory to God for all the things he has done in her life.view less
