// ABOUT ST. MATTHEW //

St. Matthew Anglican Church is a small parish located in Abbotsford, BC.

Far too many people have experienced Christianity as constricting. But it does not have to be this way.

Rooted in the Anglican tradition, we believe that structure creates freedom. Scripture, tradition, and thoughtful reflection are not barriers to faith but tools that help us grow deeper in our relationship with Jesus.

No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.
