Our worship at St. Matthew’s is centered on Word and Sacrament: God’s promise proclaimed in Scripture and preaching; Christ’s presence acknowledged and celebrated in Holy Communion.

We come to worship "just as we are": sinners in need of healing and grace; people of every kind and age and situation.

We welcome you into our midst: as friend and neighbor; as fellow seeker after wholeness and truth; as pilgrims with us along life’s way.

Worship is celebrated every Sunday at 10:30 am, and evenings during Lent, Holy Week, and Christmas Eve as scheduled.

We offer worship for the Deaf every Sunday. On the first, third, and fifth Sundays the worship is in the main church with ASL interpretation. On the second and fourth Sundays, there is an all-ASL service in the "Sharing Hands" office off of the courtyard, also at 10:30 am. If you have questions about ASL worship please contact our Deaf Mission Developer Donald Rosenkjar at Donkhai99@aol.com.

• We bring Scripture to our everyday experiences and illuminate the ancient wisdom with modern explanation and illustration.  Our sermons are designed to comfort, inspire, and challenge the listener.

• We seek in worship to expand our concept of God beyond exclusively masculine images and language. Scripture readings may reflect this practice. Historical texts may be left unaltered for their beauty and familiarity.

• We observe an open communion table - it is not ours, but God's table and we invite everyone to receive the bread and wine in this blessing of faith.

Holy Communion is offered to all baptized persons of every faith-background. Children may commune at the wish of their parent, or may be brought to the altar for a blessing. We receive the bread as a wafer, dipping it in the wine. We realize that some people prefer non-alcoholic wine; therefore we offer this in the form of white grape juice which is available from the server.
