The Cast Of Characters

November 1996

All relationships are to William Neal Matthews, Jr.
and his wife Mary Beth Matthews.

Notice: The list below is the cast of characters that either unwillingly or willingly supported William Neal Matthews' during his theft of Solid Rock Church. The cast shown is believed to be what was in effect when the Assembly of God was voted out the second time in late 1996. Therefore, it is a snapshot in time and not meant to reflect current information. Go to Solid Rock's web site if you want to find current information. If you have updated information or are listed below and want your opinion or your own story posted, mail or email it to me and I will add your comments below at the earliest possible moment.
