Inclusive Community. Connecting in Christ. Making a Difference.
 

St. Matthew’s UMC is an inclusive church, connected to our community, and committed to welcoming all persons in every phase of church life. We choose to live by Christ’s example, affirming that all people are created in the image of God.

6 flames with different colors with text below "Reconciling Ministries Network"We celebrate our diversity of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, age, marital status, nationality, physical abilities, mental abilities, and economic position. Through the Spirit, we commit to live in the words of John Wesley to “love alike though we may not always think alike.”

Wherever you are in your faith journey, you are welcome here.
