Welcome to St. Matthew DC!Southwest D.C.
We are so glad you are here!
Who We Are
St. Matthew Lutheran Church is an inclusive Christian community in Southwest D.C. rooted in the belief that God's love and grace are expansive and liberating. We are free to be!
We affirm that:
• Queer and trans people are beloved children of God, called to fully participate and lead in the life of the church.
• Black, Brown, and Indigenous (BIPOC) communities must be centered and celebrated, as the church continues the work of racial healing and reconciliation.
• Immigrants reflect the image of God, and the church must stand in solidarity with families harmed by unjust systems, policies, and practices that separate communities and deny dignity.
Because of our faith, we practice radical hospitality, courageous truth-telling, and community care. Jesus is our hope!
