The mission of the Music Ministry is to enrich the worship at St. Matthew’s, and to glorify God through music.
Our services feature the sounds of our choir, as well as our praise and worship band (first Sundays of the month). We are blessed to have a state-of-the-art Phoenix digital organ and a baby grand piano in our sanctuary.
The Music Ministry and choir also participates in holiday services, concerts, recitals and outreach projects, some of which are highlighted below. We also maintain a concert series, Musical Moments At Saint Matthew's.
Please check this page for all upcoming music events.

Musical Moments At Saint Matthew's
We are proud this 2022-23 year to announce the launch of our inaugural concert series at Saint Matt's, Musical Moments At Saint Matthew's! 🎶🎵
This unique set of musical events aims to bring high-quality performances to the Saint Matthew's community and our Eatonville neighbourhood, but it also works to fulfil our mandate of worship, which is to glorify God through the gift of music.
All concerts are Pay What You Can ($20 recommended amount), and are on Sundays at 2PM.
