All services are filled with warm, friendly folks. After each service, we gather for fellowship in the Parish Hall.

From September through May between services (9-10 am) there is a Spiritual Formation Hour for adults and for children & youth between the ages of 7 and 17. During the 10:15 am service Godly Play, a Montessori-based curriculum, is offered for children between the ages of 3 and 6.

Mission Statement
The mission of St. Matthew's Church is, by the grace of God and through the power of the Holy Spirit, to take God's Good News to those who do not know Christ, and to build up and strengthen believers:

By coming together to celebrate our Lord Jesus Christ and our love for each other and our neighbor,
By joyfully and reverently worshiping together, following the Book of Common Prayer,
By welcoming diversity and respecting our differences with open, humble hearts,
By rejoicing in our abundance and gladly sharing with those in need,
By seeking growth in our personal spiritual life and encouraging others in their spiritual walk sharing our joys and struggles,
By honoring the glory of God's creation and being respectful stewards of God's many gifts.

Vision Statement
The people of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church are a vibrant multi-generational, Christ-centered worshipping community who joyfully welcome all to come and be nourished and to join in doing God's work in the world.

Our Vision for Worship
The worship at St. Matthew's is vibrant, joy-filled, multi-generational and honest. It is an opportunity to enhance and deepen our connectedness with one another and with God, through music and prayer that is embodied and speaks to the variety of people who gather to worship. It challenges us to step outside of that which is familiar, into God, freeing us to be who we are called to be.
