Pastor & Staff

Rev. Mathew Magera

Senior Pastor

I have been a pastor at Zion since 2019 and I’m excited to be among the people of this congregation and surrounding community. Pittsburgh is a great place to call home and a great place to share the good news of Jesus. I enjoy preaching and teaching, being among people, and talking about how God fits into even the tough spots in life. I’m passionate about living and sharing the love of Jesus. I want Zion to embody this also, what we call a discipleship culture.

When I’m not at Zion, I’m home with my wife, Lane, and our daughter, Skye. We love to travel. As a pilot, I’m fortunate to be able to see God’s creation from above as an exciting hobby.

I would love to get to know you more over a meal, some coffee or tea, or even a glass of wine or a pint.

Cara Wojton

Administrative Assistant

I am a life-long Lutheran and have been a member of Zion for 8 years. I have been one of Zion’s  Administrative Assistants since April of 2014, and I greatly enjoy interacting with members and staff alike. Working at Zion strengthens my faith and allows me to learn new things every day.

Carolyn Giovannitti

Administrative Assistant

My faith has increased and many friendships have been made since 1995 when Zion became my church home. It’s been a joy to work in the office since 2017. I am the proud mom of one adult daughter. If I’m not in the office, you will find me reading a book, baking, visiting with my elderly mother, thrifting, or, most likely, walking the trails at the park.
