Welcome to Saint Matthew's Episcopal Church

~ All Are Welcome ~

We bid goodbye to our beloved and long-time rector, Rev. Kay Ashby in late January as she transitions into retirement. She will be dearly missed but we are sure that she and her husband, Father Joe Ashby, who will also be retiring, will find new challenges and adventures in their travels and more time spent with their grandchildren. We wish Revs. Kay and Joe Godspeed and Happy Trails! See the slideshow below.

Come worship with us at 10:00 o'clock on Sunday mornings! We are located between Route 42 and Claremont Avenue in Ashland, OH. Look for a brown A-frame building next to a colorful daycare center. See the map below.

St. Matthew's is a small church in a small Ohio city, and our congregation looks a lot like our surroundings. Look more closely, though, and you will see diversity: We drive pick-ups as well as luxury cars. We vote for Republicans and we vote for Democrats. We live in Ashland, Mansfield, Butler and "out in the woods". We are university faculty members and we never attended college. Some of us are gay, some are teachers, nurses, small business owners, retirees -- we have a fire-fighter and a couple of Sisters, and occasionally some of us are a little grumpy. Chances are, you will fit in here.

LOVE GOD

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
