Bishop Joshua Matthews was born in Fayetteville, North

Carolina, where he was raised by his mother.

In 2005, Bishop graduated from Terry Sanford High School and then

attended the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. While attending

college, he sang with the Voices of Serenity Gospel Choir and later served

as the Choir Director. During his college tenure, God began expanding his

musical gifts, and by his junior year (2009), he accepted God’s call to

ministerial service. After answering the call, Bishop paused his educational

studies to focus on serving in the ministry.
