St. Matthew's Episcopal Church

Welcome to Saint Matthew's Episcopal Church

We hope while you are here you will be nourished, welcomed, and sustained. We consider St. Matthew’s a place of hospitality, peace, and renewal, where people can come to be fed

through worship and the sacraments;
through the care and compassion of our members;
through our welcome of the stranger in our midst;
through our service to the larger community of Hillsborough and the world.

We invite you to be a part of the feast.

St. Matthew's celebrates family activities on Sundays evenings during the regular church year (September through May). Activities begin at 5:00 pm and include "Youth Group" for 6th through 12th graders, Children's choir practice, and various "themed" activities for the rest of the family. On occasion, simple potluck suppers are shared by all beginning at 6:00 pm.

A service of Holy Communion is held at noon on Wednesdays in the church building. The liturgy is not elaborate, so the service itself does not last more than 30 minutes. It enables folks who work in Hillsborough (or who work or travel on Sundays) to attend a weekly celebration of the Eucharist. Should those attending service also wish to have lunch and conversation together following the service, we can explore ways to institute that practice.

Tongues of Fire
theatrical adaptation of Lee Smith's short story
Wednesday, May 29, 7:30 p.m.

The year I was thirteen—1957—my father had a nervous breakdown, my brother had a wreck and I started speaking in tongues. So begins this short story by Lee Smith. The Touring Theatre of NC, based in Greensboro, has adapted it into a play which will be performed at St. Matthew’s on Wednesday, May 29. Lee is enthusiastic about their adaptation saying: “and I promise, these folks are really terrific.”
