Greetings!

The dynamic community of faith that gathers at St. Matthew United Methodist Church provides a venue for ministry opportunities that celebrate Jesus through outreach to the local and global community.

With a vision to represent and re-present Jesus Christ in the earth, the people of St. Matthew are committed to ministry that engages people with the ongoing story of faith that has knit hearts together in this community for nearly one hundred years, and pushes into the future with great anticipation of the chapters that are yet to be written.

Come join us in vibrant, celebrative worship and study each Sunday morning. We begin with a time of prayer at 9 a.m. This one hour of prayer is followed by a combined Christian Education class in the sanctuary beginning November 30, at 10:15. We will be examining Reuben Job's classic "Three Simple Rules" for the next four weeks.

Beginning at 11:00 a.m. each Sunday, we gather to celebrate the good news of Jesus Christ. November 30 will launch a new sermon series entitled, "Get Ready!"

I invite you to get ready to experience the joy of Christian community at
St. Matthew. Hope you will join us soon!
