Ciao everyone! We are Matteo and Crystal Scamporlino! We have a two-year-old daughter named Sole (which means Sun in Italian). We are church planters in Frascati, Italy a small town right outside of Rome. We just planted our first church called Chiesa Cristiana Vittoria. After several years of different trainings, courses, and serving in the Church, we were both ordained ministers through Greater Europe Mission and ordained as Pastors in 2024 by our pastors, Pastor Bruce and Sheila Rhodes of Lifeway Church in Dacula, GA. We want to see Italians have a vibrant relationship with Jesus through a deep understanding of the Word and experiencing the Holy Spirit in their daily lives. We feel called to teach the Word and make disciples who make other disciples. Our prayer is in everything that we do; that people are being trained, developed, and sent to share the Gospel wherever they go!

As a professionally trained music therapist from Atlanta (Crystal) and Matteo (an Italian born and raised in Rome) who has been a musician for more than 13 years, we plan to use the gift of music as a way to cultivate an Italian worship culture. Our hope is to create a space for believers to worship freely, the Italian way, and to initiate a deeper knowledge of the gospel through that music. We can’t wait to see how God continues to use our passions for music, discipleship, and creativity in reaching the next generation of Italians and all those living in Frascati.
