Our staff
Rev. Matt Cadora | Lead Pastor
Having grown up in Atlanta, a southern location to which many northerners end up moving, Matt and his wife Lisa moved their family north in 2005 to plant roots in Ohio where Matt has served as the Lead Pastor of Faith Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati for over 18 years.
Having previously worked in public relations for BellSouth in the 1990’s, Matt decided to pursue pastoral ministry which began an adventure that took him from Atlanta to Seattle, and back to Atlanta before moving to Cincinnati.
Matt and his wife Lisa enjoy spending time with their granddaughter, reading, traveling on occasional adventures, and playing with their dog (an English Shepherd).
As a pastor, Matt is concerned to lead the Faith Church community in knowing and imitating the heart of God in the lives of those around us.

They have 3 children ranging in age from 12-18. Lacy has been homeschooling for the last 13 years and loves every minute of it.

Spare time can be hard to come by but when Lacy finds little snippets she loves to read, crochet, cross-stitch, and get out in nature.
Suzanne Dorsch | Office Administrator
Suzanne brings a blend of Michigan roots and Cincinnati spirit to our church community. Born and raised in the beautiful state of Michigan, she made Cincinnati her home over 30 years ago, and it's been an incredible journey ever since.
Her educational path led her to Central Michigan University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in Sports Medicine. Motivated by a passion for healthcare, she later pursued a Master's in Public Health Education at the University of Cincinnati. It was during this transformative period that she not only gained valuable knowledge but also found love.
In the heart of Cincinnati, Suzanne met her husband, and together, they have celebrated 26 wonderful years of marriage. Their journey as a family includes raising two incredible children who bring joy and warmth to their home.
Beyond their daily adventures, Suzanne and her husband share a love for exploration. Whether we're traversing new destinations or enjoying nature through hikes and walks with their dogs, their shared experiences have woven a tapestry of cherished memories. They have a special place in their hearts for quiet moments on the back porch at home, where they find solace and relaxation.
