Seeking the boundless need around us and
exploring ways we can support that need
with the boundless love of Jesus
that encourages us to live in His boundless hope.
The answer to all need is Jesus, who is love. Love is not limited to what we feel for others or what they feel from us. Love is actually a person: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, our Savior. Through His love and grace, we will not perish but have eternal life. As we become the conduit of Jesus’ love, the Holy Spirit will create a life of boundless hope ​in the person whose need is discovered–whatever that need happens to be.

Welcome to St. Matthew

We're glad you've stopped by our website. God has a plan and adventure waiting for all of us. Perhaps you are new to the community or looking for a new church home. If you've never visited St. Matthew before, we'd love to see you this weekend.

​You will find there are many programs for all members of your family. St. Matthew is a great place to start making strides in your spiritual growth. Once here we hope to fill your heart through the Word, prayer, and song. Bring your kids to a place they can begin and enjoy their journeys with Christ.
