Who We Are

Whether you are a life-long Episcopalian or have never set foot in a church, we would love to welcome you to St. Matthew’s! We believe everyone is welcome at God’s table. We know it can be difficult to walk into a new place - so we’re also here to answer any questions you may have. You can find lots of information on this website, but please email us at office@smecp.org if you need anything. We look forward to meeting you in person!

St. Matthew's is a warm and vibrant church where people of all ages gather to worship God and enjoy each other's company. We’re committed to developing relationships among all generations and sharing our gifts with the wider community.

Our purpose is to embrace all people with the love of Jesus through joyful worship rooted in contemporary preaching and teaching, traditional worship, ministries for all generations, and reaching out to those in need.

About The Episcopal Church

Most of our congregation was not born into The Episcopal Church. We came to it, drawn by the ancient beauty of its Prayer Book worship, or by its encouragement of hard questions, or its commitment to helping those in need. We are a diverse church, united in common prayer and in our commitment to "seek and serve Christ in all persons."

The mission of the Episcopal Church is "to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ." At St. Matthew's, we strive to do this in many ways. The Episcopal Church draws from both the Protestant and Catholic traditions. It is part of the Anglican Communion, churches around the world in communion with the Church of England. Member churches share a common heritage and commitment to the authority of scripture, tradition, and reason.
