Matt and Joanna Black

Matt and Joanna are independent artists/worship leaders based out of Elizabethtown, KY. Matt is also the worship pastor at The Bridge Community in Elizabethtown. Their traveling ministry was birthed from the many opportunities they had to serve as volunteers in the local church. In the summer of 2003, Matt and Joanna were asked to lead worship in Jacksonville, FL for M-Fuge, a hands-on missions camp for teens. Since M-Fuge, they have had many opportunities to lead worship at retreats, and camps, and to perform their original music for youth and adults across the southeastern US.

At the heart of their ministry is the desire to see the local church continue to become a community marked by sincere fellowship in Christ. They want to see more people worship God in spirit and in truth, and empower others to serve the Lord with their lives. This is evident in their interaction with people. At a typical event you will see them spending time with teens and adults, building relationships, and listening to the experience of others. From the stage they convey a sense of community through their laid back, open, “we don’t take ourselves too seriously” style.

Their music is marked by their interchangeable lead and background harmonies, guitar/cello arrangements, and encouraging messages. Their two albums, "Sweet Communion" and "Unless the Lord", contain songs of worship along with songs that relate to life experience. The song "Your Love" written by Matt and sung by Joanna was featured on the 2004 Centrifuge Worship Compilation Album "Befriended" along with other artists such as Matt Redmond, Tim Hughes, and Jami Smith. "Unless the Lord" was produced in the spring of 2005 by Jason Kyle (Co-producer and engineer for Selah’s albums).

Matt and Joanna’s ministry, Sweet Communion Fellowship, is a part Artists in Christian Testimony, a ministry organization created to disciple and send artists out to share the gospel in creative ways.
