-Encourage the use of our unique

God-given gifts

-Provide a ministry of reconciliation

(II Corinthians 5: 18-20) and 

healing for our community and world

(Luke 4: 18-19)

Our Vision Statement

1. We want to grow spiritually, individually, and in numbers.

2. The congregation owns the mission and direction of St. Matthews Church.

3. Our congregation will promote small

caring groups.
