St. Matthew's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Wheeling gathers for worship at its downtown campus, 1410 Chapline Street, on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. The service is a celebration of the Eucharist lasting about an hour, with the parish choir leading traditional sacred music and a coffee hour in the parish hall afterward. A quieter Communion service without music meets Wednesdays at 12:05 p.m. in St. Elizabeth's Chapel and runs about 30 minutes. The congregation also worships at its Churchfield campus, St. John's Chapel at 32 Heiskell Avenue in the Woodsdale neighborhood, on Saturdays at 5 p.m. in a Eucharist of about 45 minutes, also without music. From October through May, a Night Prayer service on the first Sunday evening at 7 p.m. combines Prayer Book liturgy with Taizé chants and candlelight.

Music is a central part of parish life. The parish choir rehearses Thursday evenings from September through May, and a handbell ensemble that welcomes beginners rings at the Sunday liturgy every several weeks. A concert series adds organ, choral and chamber programs, plus services such as Choral Evensong. Outreach includes a food pantry open Tuesday and Thursday; the entrance is at 15th and Chapline Streets, and visitors should bring mail showing Ohio County residency. Pastoral care and faith formation teams also serve the congregation. For Sunday visits, parking is available in the lot at Chapline and 14th Streets or on nearby streets, and the elevator-accessible entrance is at Chapline and 15th Streets.
