A warm welcome to St. Matthew's - a church that is both Anglican and Methodist at the same time. At St. Matthew's you will find a variety of worship reflecting the different traditions from which we are gathered. All of them are based on our belief that God is highly relevant to the modern world. We seek to be open to new ways of experiencing faith and understanding the Bible. If you are looking for a church which is not dogmatic, rigid or judgmental and which accepts people as they are, you are likely to feel at home with us.
