St. Matthew's Mission Statement
To know Christ, grow in Christ, and share Christ's love

Our Vision

"To know Christ, grow in Christ, and share Christ's love" is the mission statement upon which St. Matthew's ministries are founded and the creed by which we live.

When asked to dream big and come up with our top goals, the main responses from the parish are that St. Matthew's become:

An entire parish in Bible study, small groups, tithing and involved in lay ministry, with standing room only at all of our services, and
One of the top 10 Episcopal Churches nationally measured by spirituality, outreach, attendance, budget, and membership.

Our Philosophy of Ministry:

In light of our Mission Statement, we at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church believe that the ministry of the church belongs to us all. We are called to:

Magnify God

We value prayer, praise and worship

Attract and Accept Others

We value the uniqueness of each individual as a member of our loving and caring community

Teach the Scriptures

We value scriptural education for Children, Youth, and Adults

Train everyone for ministry

We value lay ministry... we are all called to be disciples and to make disciples

Send one another out to live, serve and share
