LEGACY GIVING

Vision Beyond

All who consider St. Matthew their spiritual worship center seek to “transfer their blessings” to others or intend to soon have a Plan for doing so. Our most basic worship ”units,” such as the L.I.F.E. and other small groups, flourish in number and deepen member faith. They encourage and guide members towards our mission needs and aims of being generous stewards, whether that be in sharing their time, contributing with their talents or in legacy giving. Many such efforts played vital roles in “planting” at least one satellite congregation center outside of St. Matthew in due time.

St. Matthew is “Goldie Locks” minded, that is neither too large to feel impersonal nor too small to be resource limited towards its missions. Our church family includes more people from various cultures and ethic and people groups, for the Bible has spoken that “there is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female, and that we are all one in Christ Jesus.” All are part of the spiritual draw that has nurtured and expanded worship affinity at St. Matthew to praise God’s grace within our worship center and into the community that we strive to well serve.
