Leadership

Matthew & Shepard Lilley

Matthew Lilley founded 6:22 Ministries in 2002 and is currently the executive director. He has lived in Greenville, NC since he was four years old, and has been following Jesus since childhood. He started playing guitar at age thirteen and has been playing music in youth groups and churches since he was about fifteen. Matthew has been featured on four 6:22 albums and has released three independent albums. Some of his songs such as Relentless, Take Over Me and Chosen Generation have been sung in churches and youth groups around North Carolina. Matthew and Shepard consider themselves missionaries to the Greenville area and are supported by their music and the generosity of those in the body of Christ.

Matthew and Shepard married in December of 2007 and became the proud parents of a baby girl named Shiloh Elizabeth in September 2009. For more information on supporting the work of Matthew and Shepard visit http://www.matthewlilley.com, which also includes a blog, music, photos and more.

Board of Directors

The Board is 6:22's primary leadership team that handles the vision, direction and finances of the organization. The IRS would call this group the Board of Directors, but in practice we are a small family that gathers about every month to seek God's will for 6:22.

Board of Advisors

The advisors provide Matthew and the CORE with wisdom, counsel, perspective, experience and resources in the areas of worship and prayer so that 6:22 may minister more effectively in eastern North Carolina and beyond. The advisors meet with the CORE annually and are also contacted throughout the year as needed.

"Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established." -Proverbs 15:22

"A woman once emptied a precious bottle of perfume worth a years wages upon the feet Jesus. Some who witnessed this scene questioned such worship and said "why this waste" but the One who made the earth and heavens declared, 'She has done a beautiful thing for me.' Over the years I have watched 6:22 extravagantly pour their lives upon the feet of Jesus in radical worship. Some may look at them and say why this waste, but I hear Jesus roaring over 6:22 'You have done a beautiful thing for Me!'"-Jonathan

"6:22 has impacted not only lives of thousands students and young adults in North Carolina, but has become a powerful movement crying out for a generation and calling them to abandon themselves to the Heavenly Father's heart. Having had the honor to partner with and minister alongside 6:22, their sheer passion for God, desire to touch his heart, creative expressions of worship, and ministry integrity propels them to be vastly effective in a variety of settings and outreaches. I truly believe 6:22 has received a mighty vision from the Lord and is marching forward with the fire of God in hand. Be a part of the movement!"

"Wow...relevant and authentic! God has used these guys hearts and gifts to serve the students of our city, and it is truly remarkable to see. They have helped to transform ministry all over the place for the renown of God. I am blessed, and our ministry is blessed because this ministry exists."

"This is a unique, worship-invoking ministry grounded in the foundation of Christ; reaching our community and beyond. With a strong emphasis on prayer and fasting, this ministry not only sings about, but seeks to live and breathe a life-style of worship. I'm thankful for every opportunity to worship with the 6:22 ministry."
