About Us
We are a small, diverse, and service driven Parish. Our parishioners can be found in many walks of life as they go about their daily endeavors. As a ministry for all Parish, the Church, operates with the help of many people. We are engaged in activities that include Clergy, lay ministers, Christian Educators, Music service, Community service, participation at the Diocesan level, and recently added a Hispanic ministry to our Parish. We think of ourselves as a warm and welcoming place for those who seek acceptance as visitors, both new to the community or those seeking spiritual renewal. Several denominations have shared physical space with St. Matthew's while growing their communities and then moving on to their own facilities. In the 90's refugees from Bosnia were welcomed and assisted in relocation.
St. Matthew's started as a small parish
long before the population explosion in Las Vegas. Sisters of Charity
from England were instrumental in launching the Church that then lay
outside of the Population center. Never having been large enough to
support a full-time Rector, with the help of a Regional Vicar, the model
of " Total Ministry " was initiated, refined, and continues to be a
guiding light as more Parishes throughout the country find themselves
continuing to struggle for existence with limited financial resources.
