Want to become a member?
Twice a year, the Evangelism Committee holds a New Member Orientation, with a reception the following Sunday. To seek membership in our church, talk to our pastors about what being a part of the family of faith at Saint Matthew's Lutheran Church!
The next New Member Orientation will be held October 30, 2:30 p.m. and New Members will be received November 6, 11 a.m. service. If you are interested in joining St. Matthew's in our worship and work speak to one of the pastors.

What gifts do you have? Are you looking to find ways to share your spiritual gifts? Want to find out more about your spiritual gifts?
God has
given each Christian two vitally important gifts.
First is the gift of faith
in Jesus Christ, his work of redemption, and thus forgiveness of sin.
Second
is the gift of one or more special abilities, which are used for the purpose of
unifying the body of Christ and for the growth of God's Kingdom. These abilities
are called spiritual gifts and they are received through our baptism.
Like other
presents, it is impossible to fully appreciate and make use of our spiritual
gifts until they have been opened. The ELCA has provided a Spiritual Gifts Self-Assessment website which will
help begin to open our spiritual gifts by guiding you through some activities
and questions.
If you are looking for ways to share your gifts at Saint Matthew's, please check out our Time and Talents sheet. Fill it out, share it with our office, and share your gifts with our congregation!
