St. Matthew’s has been recognized for our Works: Missions — Our mission efforts touch the lives of others locally, nationally, and globally. Disaster Response Team — Our DRT has received citations from the state of Maryland and Prince Georges County for their preparedness to support during times of emergency. Early Education Center — Developed as a community outreach ministry, church members created a program to enrich the emotional, social, physical, and intellectual lives of young children.
Why St. Matthew’s? “We are a military family and moved to Maryland from upstate New York. Leaving our loved ones was the most difficult part of our relocation but St. Matthew's has become our Maryland family. They have offered kindness, compassion, support and helped us raise our four children in a loving Christian environment. We are proud to call St. Matthew's our family.” —The Vare Family "I'm part of St. Matthew's because of the warmth that surrounded me when I first came, the way the church is focused on outreach and missions and the love I've experienced from everyone. St.Matthew's is special enough for me to come quite a distance." — Ray Orocco-John
