Saint Matthew’s 
Anglican Catholic Church
 
 
Whether you are simply browsing the web or looking for a new church home, we are glad you found our page. As Anglican Catholics we believe and hold to the Christian faith as received from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as it was handed down through the Apostles, and experience it through the fullness of God’s Word and Sacraments. We believe and hold to;   

Catholic Faith • Apostolic Order
Orthodox Worship • Evangelical Witness

If you have never visited an Anglican Catholic Church before our worship may be a bit different than a lot of other churches you may have experienced. Our services are contemplative, our music classical, and our preaching is practical. We are not looking to be the next “big box mega church” or try to compete to have the best “praise and worship” band in the area. Instead our hope is to be a church where you find an unchanging and uncompromising faith for a world that is ever changing.  We are a church in the world, but not of the world!

There is a lot of confusion today about what it means to be a Christian.  We celebrate Christianity as it was received in the British Isles from the earliest missionaries.  Anglicanism has often been described as the via media between the Roman Catholic Church and the various Protestant denominations, because we maintain the Apostolic Traditions while also embracing the many renewals of the Christian faith that were brought about during the Protestant Reformation (i.e. teaching the Bible).

We hope you will take some time to browse our site, learn more about our parish, and look forward to seeing you at services this Sunday... till then may God bless you and keep you!

In Christ,
The St. Matthew’s Parish Family
