What to Expect

What are services like?
St. Matthew's services are characterized as "low" Episcopal. Sermons are scripture-based and relevant. Our organist is Anthony Newman, who is a world-renowned organist and harpsichord player. The choir’s musical repertoire includes works by Bach, Beethoven, Gounod, Handel, Mozart, Purcell, and many others. The professional quality of the singing augments the worship service substantially each Sunday and attracts many new parishioners to our Church.

What is the community like?
Bedford is a pastoral town with many horse trails, dirt roads and maintains a "small town" feel to it.

What if I'm not a Christian?
All are welcome.
