Mission Partnerships
St. Matthews has been able to extend its mission by supporting programmes of the following Mission Partners. We are grateful to be able to build relationships with these outstanding community organizations while helping address local and global needs that align with our congregation's values.
Recently, we sold some property and were able to dedicate a tithe (tenth) of the proceeds to build upon existing relationships we had with these organizations. So far, we have been able to provide financial support totalling $500,000.
