Thinking of visiting Saint Matthew's? Come with us on a little tour and we'll answer some questions you might have.
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.

If you would prefer a blessing from the priest you can cross your arms over your chest. If you are not comfortable receiving the common cup, you are welcome to just put your hand on the base to have the words spoken over you.
