Our Community
Welcome to St. Matthew MBC
St. Matthew Missionary Baptist Church — "The Church of Restoration" — is a thriving and diverse community of real people experiencing real life together.
We offer both physical and virtual worship opportunities. Sundays are a time when we gather together to grow and give of what we have, but our lives consist of much more than attending church on Sunday. We want to be the church every day of the week.
Our Vision: A church committed to restoring and discipling people to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our Mission: To make disciples through evangelism, teaching, outreach ministries, and the preaching of God's word.
Whether this was your very first visit or your first of many, we're grateful you chose to spend time in God's house with the St. Matthew family. You came as a guest, but we hope you'll always feel at home here.
From our family to yours — thank you for worshiping with us.
"I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord."
Psalm 122:1

Keep the Word With You All Week Long
Sunday doesn't have to be the end of the conversation. Like, follow, and subscribe to St. Matthew on your favorite platform for live services, sermons, encouragement, and a glimpse of our church family every day of the week.
Through prayer, you can invite Jesus into your heart to become your personal Lord and Savior.
"For Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Romans 10:13
Pray With Us
A Prayer of Salvation
If you are ready, you can pray right where you are. There are no perfect words — God is listening for a sincere heart.
Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and that I need Your forgiveness.
I believe You died for my sins and rose again. I turn away from my sins
and invite You into my heart and life. I confess You as my Lord and my Savior.
Thank You for saving me.
Amen
If you prayed that prayer today, we would love to rejoice with you and walk alongside you in your next step.
If you have accepted Christ and are looking for a church home, we would be honored to have you join the St. Matthew family.
