// ABOUT ST. MATTHEW //

St. Matthew Anglican Church is a small Parish located in Abbotsford, BC.

Far too many people have experienced Christianity as constricting.  But it doesn't have to be this way.

As a community rooted in the Anglican tradition, we believe church is all about exploring the grand mysteries of God.  Like everything else in life - whether it's architecture, carpentry, music, or even worship - we believe it's through structure that we find the freedom to experience more!

Recognizing that everyone has a unique and challenging journey, we want to be a safe, inclusive and welcoming community that embraces transformation while also maintaining the best that tradition has to offer.

No matter where you are on your spiritual journey and in your relationship with God, you are welcome here.
