ABOUT US

Matthew’s Table is a church stripped of its formality. At every Sunday gathering we prepare food and all eat freely. During our time together we engage in a simple liturgy that we call a Weekly Rhythm.

Eating

IMG_4039_02Sharing food has always been central to a shared life of community. We place worship and communion back where it began: as a delight in the middle of the shared table – eating and drinking in remembrance of Christ – looking back to the cross and forward to his return.

Learning

Listening

poster42109416We believe that God is capable of speaking to us. We do not confine him to any particular medium, but we try to be attentive to his voice, wherever and whenever it speaks. We provide a period for reflection, meditation and listening to the voice of God.

Sending

poster70866682We are called to live ordinary life – our sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life – with Gospel intentionality. We believe the purpose of the church is derived from the very nature of God which has compeled us to be sent as a missionary people – individually and collectively.
