Welcome to St. Matthew's. We are a
- Welcoming church. The smiles are genuine and the handshakes are warm. Old and young, male and female, gay and straight, single, married, divorced, and widowed, white and black, CEO and unemployed, rich and poor are all welcome.
- Bible-centered church. As a liturgical church, our Sunday worship service includes a lot of Bible reading and teaching. Our weekly Bible study group provides another chance to apply the words of the Bible to our lives.
- Long-standing church. Our roots are deep in the Episcopal Church and Anglican Church tradition. Though our foundations are ancient, we are not captive to our past. We celebrate the daily life and presence of Jesus Christ among us.
- Caring church. The needs of Ashland Ohio, Mansfield Ohio, and the world are important to us. We frequently find ways to help meet the material needs of our neighbors.
Episcopalians are a surprising bunch. We'd love to welcome you to our fellowship here in Ashland.
The Rev. Kay N. Ashby, a native of Fayetteville, Arkansas, is a graduate of the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest and has served several southern parishes. She lives in Mansfield Ohio with her husband Joe, who is rector of Grace Episcopal Church.
