Welcome | St Matthew United Methodist Church Mesa, AZ

Toda la Tierra Espera -- All Earth Is Waiting

Advent is the time of waiting, of longing, of anticipating the coming of the Christ Child. Wherever you are on your journey to the manger, whether you’re looking for worship experiences, music, service opportunities, or spiritual studies, we have a place for you!

As always, no matter who you are, what you’re wearing, whom you love, or even what you believe, ALL activities at St. Matthew are open to you. You are a child of God, and you are welcome here!

Come early for the church service and listen to beautiful Christmas music! Our very own Bells of Joy will be ringing familiar carols in the Sanctuary until the organ prelude starts.

We celebrate the end of Advent and the birth of Emmanuel, God with us, as the promise is fulfilled. Our traditional service will be filled with choir, handbells, brass, and other special music, in addition to the lighting of the Advent wreath, Holy Communion, and candlelight.
