A new story is possible
Everyone has a story. Our stories are shaped by people, places, and unique experiences.
We're a new church that wants to see the best storywriter we know, Jesus, write a new story in Yonkers and beyond.
Hi, We’re the Mathews
For several years, Ashish and Diane have sensed a "tug" to start a new church in Yonkers. Having grown up in Yonkers and the Bronx, Ashish and Diane believe God wants to do something new, and they're excited to be part of it!
Ashish, a third-culture kid raised in Saudi Arabia's underground churches, had a radical encounter with Jesus at the age of 13 and has been passionate about others meeting Jesus ever since. Diane met Jesus during her high school years, and committed to following Him into vocational ministry in college. Ashish and Diane served as college pastors with InterVarsity in NYC. They also served as Associate Pastors at Ridgeway Church in White Plains, NY, before sensing God's call to plant Seven Hills Church. They both have their Masters of Divinity in Hebrew Bible. Ashish and Diane are ordained and licensed with the C&MA.
When they're not serving the church, they love taking spontaneous trips to Trader Joe's with their two daughters.

what we’re
all about:
Explore faith
We want to make room for you, skeptic or curious, to explore what faith might look like.
Do what he did
We want to live out the words and works of Jesus in our every day.
become like jesus
We want to grow spiritually by practicing the way of Jesus, for all of life.
What kind of church are you?
We want to keep the main thing the main thing: to love God and love people. We’re a part of the Christian & Missionary Alliance. We affirm the historical Nicene creed and Apostles creed as well as the Lausanne Covenant.
What if I’m skeptical about faith?
We’ve intentionally started Seven Hills Church to make room for you to explore faith. Check out ALPHA, a series of fun dinner & group conversation evenings centered around exploring the big questions of life, spirituality, and faith in a laid back & non-judgmental environment. You are welcome here!
Who can be a part of Seven Hills?
We’re committed to being a diverse church of people from different spiritual, cultural, socioeconomic and generational backgrounds. There’s room for you!
Are you a Bible church or a Holy Spirit church?
We’re a church that both views highly the authority of the scriptures and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. We believe that we need both the word and the spirit to live into all that God’s called us to be.
