About this church
St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church is an ELCA congregation in Taylorsville formed when St. Paul’s in Kearns and Atonement in Granger merged as the new denomination took shape in 1988. Sunday worship begins at 10 a.m. and is designed as intergenerational biblical and faith formation. The service streams live and remains available on the church site for five days. The congregation describes itself as lay led and clergy supported, with trained and pastor-supervised lay presiders and preachers when part-time clergy are unavailable. Word and sacrament remain central to the gathering.
St. Matthew’s became a Reconciling in Christ congregation in 2021 and states that all are welcome. Its west-valley campus includes an education wing dedicated in 1999 and now operates on solar power. The outside Little Pantry makes food continuously available; members collect pantry staples, personal-care products, clothing, World Hunger gifts, and meals for families experiencing homelessness. Other connections include Sunday School, prayer shawls, occasional choir and special music, fellowship, Scouts, TOPS, advocacy, and volunteer worship roles. Communion and active participation are part of membership, but the public pages do not specify Communion frequency, visitor reception guidance, service length, dress, parking, accessibility, nursery care, child check-in, or the current age-group schedule. Visitors should use the latest newsletter for program dates rather than relying on older announcements embedded on the long homepage.
