Welcome!
St Matthew Orthodox Church is a parish of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), within the OCA Diocese of the Midwest.
Our parish life is rooted in the weekly celebration of the Divine Liturgy every Sunday at 9:30 am, preceded by Matins (Morning Prayer) at 8:30 am.
Every week (unless otherwise noted, please double check in the most recent bulletin linked below), we also have: Bible Study on Tuesdays at 10:30 am, Daily Vespers on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm, and Great Vespers on Saturdays at 5:00 pm.
Guests and new members are always warmly welcomed at our services and activities. Non-Orthodox Christians may participate in every way, except for reception of the Sacraments; if you are interested in learning about becoming Orthodox Christian, please speak to the parish priest!
Please scroll down to see our calendar of liturgical services, and please click our most recent bulletin below to see what other events and ministry opportunities are upcoming in our parish.
Finally, we intentionally keep our website minimalistic because the internet is not reality. The best thing is to "come and see" us in person!
