What to expect at St. Matthew’s
The people of St. Matthew’s love to celebrate! Celebration takes many forms, but it can always be seen in the way we live, love, and worship. Our lives are marked by celebrations with each other—birthdays, weddings, quinceañeras, baptisms, and funerals are vital in celebrating life with community. Most of all, we celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ when we come together around the Lord’s table.

What we believe
We gather to recognize God’s love for the world, and God’s loving existence within all living things. Episcopalians participate in seven traditional practices that give us opportunities to experience and participate in God’s presence together, called sacraments. These practices are always done in community, bringing us together, as the Body of Christ.
The sacraments make use of normal, everyday things such as bread, wine, and water to help tell the story of God’s love within all that exists, and to give us an opportunity to experience God’s presence with us as we worship.
