Mission: Saint Matthew's Churches welcomes men and women of all faiths, all nationalities, all ethnic groups and all social stations. It is based firmly on the Holy Bible, God's Holy Word. Our church services are much like those of every other traditional church that worships Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of the human race. While Saint Matthew's Churches is ecumenical in scope and nature, our identity and self-understanding is deeply rooted in the Historic Christian Tradition. Our services are informed and shaped by many of the Historic Christian liturgies, which has helped Christians maintain the beauty and dignity of Christian Worship for hundreds of years. In matters of faith and practice Saint Matthew's Churches identifies with many of the doctrinal texts, which have historically guided Christians from many backgrounds. This includes our affirmation of the sufficiency of the Scriptures as containing all things necessary to salvation. We affirm the belief contained in the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds. We affirm the spirit of the Historic Christian creeds that have served as a statement of faith for those in the Historic Christian Tradition since the earliest of times. At Saint Matthew's Churches we believe that the living core of the Christian faith was revealed in Scripture, illumined by tradition, strengthened in personal experience and confirmed by reason.
