Take the CADDS Survey today.

We invite you to take our Congregational Assessment of Development/Decline Status (CADDS) for St, Matthew by clicking here.

Our congregation is exploring participation in the LCMS Re:Vitality Lutheran revitalization program. “Vital” is the key component of “revitalization.” Wherever the Word is proclaimed in its purity and God’s Sacraments are rightly administered, there is spiritual vitality. Re:Vitality builds upon spiritual vitality and guides the church in positive action for sustainable, adaptable, focused, and healthy ministry for years to come. The first step in the Re:Vitality process is to submit honest feedback about our congregation from everyone involved.

We need to hear from everyone, individually. We want to hear from you, whether you’ve been a member here your whole life or you’re new to Christianity, whether you’re a member, frequent attendee, or occasional visitor, we want to hear from you.

Your responses are completely anonymous. No one will know your name, and I will not see individual responses. It is important to be honest in your feedback so that we can have an accurate assessment about where we are as a congregation.

St. Matthew Lutheran Church

St. Matthew Lutheran Church is a historic, orthodox, confessional parish "built on Christ Jesus himself" (Ephesians 2:20). We adhere to the Gospel message of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, upon Scripture alone. In a culture full of anger, fear, and loneliness, we have the vision to be an intentional Lutheran community where the Gospel is proclaimed boldly, the Sacraments celebrated joyfully, the Faith taught clearly, the cross is embraced prayerfully, and we serve humbly.

Our Sunday Schedule:
9 AM: Bible Study and Sunday School for all ages. We meet in the Sanctuary first for Scripture, catechism, and an introduction to the day's lesson.
10:30 AM: Divine Service with the Sacrament of the Altar.

Our Wednesday Schedule
4 PM:         Catechism / Confirmation (Grades 6-8)
5 PM:         Fellowship Dinner

St. Matthew Lutheran Church is a confessional, liturgical parish where the Sacrament of the Altar is celebrated weekly. If you are not a member of a Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod or a part of a church body that shares Altar and Pulpit fellowship with the LCMS, please make every effort to visit with the pastor before communing.

Matthew 28:18-20

"And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’"

What We Believe

St. Matthew Lutheran Church is gladly in fellowship with the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod and all her partner church bodies in the International Lutheran Council throughout the world. We trace our heritage through the Reformation to the ancient church established by Christ himself.
