About St. Matthew's Episcopal Church
St. Matthew's Church was organized on September 21, 1928.
The current building was consecrated October 12, 1954 by Bishop
Quarterman.
Today, you will find a small congregation that really cares for each
other and St. Matthew's church. The children's Sunday
School class is downstairs and features child-size versions of
everything that one would find in church. The class sizes are
small. The children get such personal care and Montessori
style teaching. Stay and participate with the children or head
across the alley to the adult Sunday School class in Parish Hall.
Click on the Sunday School tab to catch up on the current Sunday
School topic and feel free to join our discussions in person on
Sunday or on the web throughout the week.
If you are new to the Episcopal Church, you'll find a structured
service with a variety of readings from the Old and New Testament, a
sermon, and the celebration of Holy Eucharist on most days. We
follow the Episcopal Prayer Book which ensures that we make it
through the entire bible after a few years and keeps us in tune with
other Episcopal churches.
There is no pressure in our service to come forward. You'll
find that it's very peaceful and everyone is friendly and accepting.
The Episcopal Church doesn't ask you to "check your brain at the
door" and therefore, you'll find that it is unlikely any two people
completely share the same beliefs. Instead, we are encouraged
to read, study, pray, and develop our own relationships with God.
They will all be different as we are all different.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the church.
