What To Expect
Worship is a central part of who we are. Through word, music, and action (sacrament), we seek to understand the Father, grow closer to Jesus, and we are given life in the Holy Spirit.
There are many different ways to worship our immense God, and St. Matthew's tries to offer something for everyone. Please see our service descriptions and times below.
