Make Friends, Deepen Your Faith, and Encounter Jesus

Regardless of your age, gender, or season of life, there is a place for you!

Our faith journey becomes even more enriching when accompanied by laughter and shared moments with newfound friends. While meeting people on Sunday mornings is wonderful, the real magic of building lasting friendships, essential for nurturing your faith, happens in the warmth of a smaller group setting.

That's why we encourage everyone at St. Matthew's to become a part of a Small Group.

Community Groups

Starting Fall 2026

St. Matt’s Community Groups: neighborhood gatherings centered around living life together, praying for one another, and just being family. Here's What You Need to Know: Life, Not Homework: These aren't strict book clubs or Bible studies (though groups might occasionally do both). It’s about catching up, being together, and loving each other well. The Commitment: Groups meet for about an hour or two once a week for an 8-week term. Dates: Our first term runs from September 14 to November 6, 2026. Interested? Please fill out this brief survey. Your responses will help us organize groups based on neighborhoods, schedules, and family needs.
