SEEKING TO HELP
AS JESUS WOULD
We serve out of our devotion to Jesus and our love for all people.
We seek to meet people's needs with love and humility on Christ's behalf.
Children's Ministry
Children ages 3 through 12 have the opportunity to learn about the Bible and how to love God through Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. Confirmation class is offered for 7th & 8th graders and a youth group is available for 7th to 12th grade students.
Lunchtime Ministry
Lunchtime Ministry is a soup kitchen/drop-in center providing food and companionship to everyone that comes through our doors at St. Matthew Trinity on the corner of 8th and Hudson Streets in Hoboken. Four days a week, Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 12 PM, we provide a warm meal, hospitality, and community for our neighbors who are homeless, marginally housed, or just hungry.
Music Ministry
Worship at St Matthew Trinity is an expression of the unity of our church - the people of God - and its continuity with Christians across the ages. We continue in our liturgies the gestures, songs, and words by which Christians have identified themselves and each other for two thousand years.
