Make a joyful noise.

At St. Matthew’s, music is the heartbeat of our worship. From the delicate ring of a handbell to the soaring harmonies of a Christmas Cantata, we use our gifts to glorify God and build a community of discipline, cooperation, and joy.

Whether you are a seasoned musician or just beginning your journey, there is a place for your "joyful noise" here.
