About St Matthew’s Anglican Church

St Matthew’s Anglican Church is in Wanniassa, ACT. We are a large (500+) evangelical Bible-based, Christ-centred church with a rich history of preaching God’s word and sending people out in gospel ministry. Gripped by the love of Christ, St Matt’s is passionate about seeing strangers become believers, believers grow to be lovers, and lovers serve as warriors for Him. A vital part of this is raising children to know, follow, and share Jesus.

Our Children’s and Families Ministry partners with parents to raise children in the knowledge and love of Jesus. Each week we connect with over 100 children through Playgroup, FISH (Friday afternoon kids club), and K@Ch (Sunday school program during 10 am church).
