St. Matthew Lutheran Church

About this church

St. Matthew Lutheran Church is a Monticello congregation whose mission is to grow in faith and share God’s love with all people. Sunday worship retains a traditional Lutheran structure while opening with a contemporary song and continuing with hymns, organ music, practical preaching, and twice-monthly Communion. The church moved its former Sunday School pattern to WOW—Worship on Wednesday—so children, confirmation students, and high-school youth can share a meal, brief contemporary service, and age-based faith formation on a school-night schedule.

Sunday worship begins at 9:00 a.m.; Holy Communion is normally celebrated on the first and third Sundays. From September through April, WOW starts with a Wednesday meal at 5:15 p.m., worship from 6:00 to 6:30, and classes through 7:00. The homepage contains an older reference to worship at 6:15, but the detailed worship and youth pages agree on 6:00; families should confirm the opening week and any holiday exceptions. During Lent, the same evening framework becomes a soup supper and seasonal worship schedule. Casual dress is common at both gatherings.
