Mathewson Street United Methodist Church, known as Mathewson Street Church, is located at 134 Mathewson Street in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. Sunday begins with a Friendship Breakfast in the Fellowship Hall starting at 7 a.m., followed by Bible study in the small chapel and a worship service in the large second-floor sanctuary at about 10 a.m. The website lists the worship service at 10:15 a.m. in one place and 10 a.m. in another, so visitors should confirm the time before attending. The church is part of the United Methodist Church.

Beyond Sunday, the church operates as a seven-day-a-week support center for people experiencing poverty and homelessness. Its programs include a drop-in warming and cooling center open year-round, case management, meals, a clothing boutique, hygiene and personal care supplies, and phone charging. The Friendship Breakfast began in 2012 and has grown into a peer-driven model of hospitality, and the church partners with housing, mental health, addiction, and legal and medical service providers. The church reports serving more than 50,000 meals in a year. Hours vary by day, so confirm current hours on the website or by phone.
