Discovery Staff & LEADERSHIP
DR. MATTHEW KORELL
Lead Pastor
Full Time
Matthew is passionate about serving God, especially here at Discovery and in the Tri-Cities. His wife, Sarah, says he is a wonderful husband and amazing father to their four children. When Matthew isn't working or spending time with his family, he loves to cook. He even learned to make homemade bacon, which was in short supply when they were missionaries in Taiwan. Reach out to Matthew if you want to talk about ministry, life, or try some of his homemade bacon.
ELLIOTT GREGORY
Associate Pastor,
Student Ministries & Teaching
Full Time
Elliott has been in full time youth ministry for more than a decade and a part of the Discovery Church staff since 2015. His passion for water balloons, messy games and sharing the story of Jesus have served him well as a youth pastor (and frankly leave him few other career options). In addition to serving at Discovery, Elliott is an adjunct youth ministry instructor at King University and an unlicensed pyrotechnician.
RAQUEL MCLAMB
Children’s Ministry Director
Full Time
Raquel has been involved in children’s ministry since the age of 16 and while she doesn’t have any children of her own, she is beyond blessed with the gift of loving on more than 100 kids each week! Raquel’s greatest desire is to see kids give their lives to Jesus. If you don’t see Raquel’s car parked at the back of the building on campus, she’s likely at Starbucks (salted caramel cold brew, baby!), spinning on her Peloton, or snuggling with her pup, Cooper and precious husband, Andy.
ERIC CUDDY
Worship Pastor
Part Time
Eric has been in ministry for more than 20 years, most of which has been in worship ministry. Eric believes worship is what prepares the heart and mind to hear and receive God’s word.
