St. Matthew's-in-the-Pines Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Matthew's-in-the-Pines Church in Seale, Alabama, is an Episcopal congregation in the Diocese of Alabama. It gathers for worship each Sunday at 11 a.m. Eastern Time at 38 Longview St. The site describes the services as reverent and beautiful, held in a sanctuary built by founding members about seventy years ago, with sermons that speak to the challenges of everyday life. Holy Eucharist is celebrated every Sunday, a practice the congregation has kept since it began hiring a priest in 2000.

The congregation traces Episcopal worship in this part of Russell County back to the 1800s, was reorganized in 1951, and completed its church building in 1954. The property includes the sanctuary, with stained glass windows, central heating and air conditioning, and a digital hymnal sound system, along with a parish hall added in 2019. The homepage also shows a "Join Us Live" link, so people who cannot attend in person may find an online option there; confirm details before Sunday. The site does not list children's, youth, or small-group programs, so first-time visitors with questions can call 706-575-5668 or write to the mailing address, PO Box 221, Seale, AL 36875.
