St. Matthew's Episcopal Church
Share a story
Whether you are from another Christian tradition and are searching for a new church home, are new to Houma and seeking an Episcopal Church, or maybe just wanting to explore the Christian faith for the first time, we invite you to join us in worship and fellowship.
If you have children, we are ready to receive them. We have a church nursery available, as well as Sunday school classes which run concurrent with the first half of our worship. The children then come and join their parents for the celebration of Holy Communion. If you’d prefer to keep them with you for the entire service, you are more than welcome to! We truly enjoy having the little ones in church. You can read more about St. Matthew’s by clicking on "Newsletters" above. This will have recent editions of our weekly eNewsletter.
We are all growing and learning, and often in awe, as we see new friendships and new ministries developing as we continue to live into the Lord’s mission for St. Matthew’s. We would love for you to consider whether He might be calling you to be a part of all He has in store.
You are welcome at St. Matthew’s!
