St Matthew Lutheran Church

About this church

St. Matthew Lutheran Church is an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America congregation that has served Martinsburg for nearly two centuries. Sunday worship begins at 9:30 a.m. with a Liturgy of Word and Sacrament, including Communion, and is recorded and livestreamed. The church describes its tradition as rooted in the ancient Western church while remaining attentive to the Spirit's work in the present, with a mission to share God's Word and serve all people.

Worship is participatory rather than performance-oriented: the pastor, readers, and assisting ministers lead, while the congregation responds through prayer and song. There is no dress code or age restriction, so children and adults worship together in the same gathering. The official site also maintains recent sermons and monthly newsletters that document service through the Martinsburg Food Pantry, community meals, and other local partnerships. St. Matthew meets at 115 East Penn Street; first-time visitors should check the current bulletin for seasonal education times and office availability.
