Matt Mandrones

My wife, Shawn, and I became members at Sunnyside in 2016, about the time of our wedding. We both like the pastoral leadership and the well-planned church services. We enjoy how well the church services flow, including the variety of music styles shared with an emphasis and appreciation of inspired Classical music.

We believe in contributing to the church body with our gifts and growing through fellowship with other believers. With our one-year-old son, Levi, we are pleased with the Sabbath School children’s programs. I have played a lead role in helping recruit musicians to and in forming a Sunnyside Chamber Orchestra that has performed many times. I hope to see it continue to grow and mature and be able to perform collaborative works. When it comes to sharing music that involves strings, I am willing and happy to serve. Shawn has been a Chorister and presented the Children’s Story during church. We desire to raise out son Levi in an Adventist Christian home, embrace Biblical values, lead him to follow Christ as he gets older, and to serve God
