About Us

St Matthew’s is a diverse community meeting in the centre of the Suffolk town of Ipswich. We come from all backgrounds and walks of life, and many countries, and have members from babies to 102 (yes really!). We would love to welcome you to any of our services or events.

Our mission statement at St Matthew’s is: “At St Matthew’s we seek to ‘prepare all generations to impact lives for Christ.’

Our services are fairly informal, use mainly contemporary songs, and we have activities and groups for children and young people as well as adults.

We are an Anglican (Church of England) church within the Deanery of Ipswich in the Diocese of St. Edmundsbury and Ipswich, and are pleased to be part of the Inspiring Ipswich vision for the Deanery. We are part of a parish of three churches along with Triangle Church and All Saints Church.
