Serve at St. Matthew’s
Your many gifts, when shared with others, can bring about God’s kingdom here on earth.
Whether you sing opera, are great at knitting prayer shawls, or enjoy supporting our youth, you are welcome to explore your gifts through the ministries at St. Matthew’s.
Scroll through the upcoming volunteer opportunities and feel free to reach out with any questions you may have!
Scouts BSA Troop 1396B
Scouting America Troop 1396 was chartered at St. Matthew’s in April 1989 and we have been collaboratively supporting and serving with them ever since. For the most recent updates, please visit the troop website.
In 2019, the Boy Scouts of America renamed its flagship program, Boy Scouts, to Scouts BSA to reflect its policy change allowing girls to join separate, gender-specific troops. Accordingly, on February 8, 2025, its 115th anniversary, the BSA changed its name to Scouting America.
BSA Venturing Crew 1396
Scouting America Venturing Crew 1396 was chartered at St. Matthew’s in August 2018. Venture Crews are youth led groups of young women and men ages 14-20. For more information, please visit the Crew website.
Scouts BSA Troop 1396G (All Girl Troop)
Scouting America Troop 1396G was chartered at St Matthew’s in June 2024 and currently participates jointly with Troop 1396B. Please check out the website to see our joint activities.

Calling All Singers!
The choirs at St. Matthew’s are age-, not ability-, based. Reading music is not required, but is certainly helpful. Share your gifts with the congregation by reaching out to our Director of Music, Kathy Lundgren, and get connected to a choir.
