"St Matthews at its best is a church fellowship of Bible-believing Christians seeking to work out their faith and mission according to The Great Commission Matthew 28:19 "
The Anglican Parish of St Matthew's, Masterton, Welcomes You.
We welcome you to our church. St Matthews is a caring group of people committed to serving Christ in our community. Please feel free to come and visit, whether you are a regular churchgoer or just interested in hearing what we are all about. We are passionate about what Christ has done for us, 
in dying on the cross and taking away our sins. God calls us to live our lives in obedience to him seven days a week, not just on Sundays. In reflection of this St Matthews offers further fellowship activities throughout the week, or on a monthly basis to encourage us to draw close to him.
Our Vision
St Matthew’s has a wide vision for its work as a Church and as part of the local community. There is Worship for past, present and future, and entertainment for a range of tastes. We take seriously our call to be relevant in this 3rd millennium but at the same time to hold fast to our tradition. Our people are warm and welcoming, we do our best to cater for very young to very old. We do our best to provide a warm and friendly environment for all.
Visitors are always welcome!
