About Our Church
In 1934 St. Matthew’s was founded as a mission church. It was originally built on a corner lot at East Ragley and South Mill. In the late 30’s the church was moved to where the YMCA building was later located. The church was moved one last time to its location on College. Finally in the 50’s, an office was added to the church and the parish hall and classrooms were built behind the main church building.
Mission Statement
ST. MATTHEW’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH IS A BODY OF BELIEVERS UNITED IN A COMMON DESIRE TO LOVE AND SERVE THE LORD AND OUR NEIGHBORS. OUR FAITH JOURNEY IS TO DO JUSTICE, TO LOVE KINDNESS AND TO WALK HUMBLY WITH OUR GOD. —ADAPTED FROM MICAH 6:8

LITURGY
The unity of the members of the church in Christ is expressed most fully through public worship (or liturgy). Liturgy expresses the Church's identity and mission, including the church's calling to invite others and to serve with concern for the needs of the world.
