One Congregation.
Two Locations.

Our congregation has been blessed by having two locations.  Our main campus is located in downtown Wheeling on the corner of Chapline and 14th Street.  Our second campus is called Churchfield, located on Heiskell and Maple Avenue in the Woodsdale neighborhood.  St. John’s Chapel is our worship space at our Churchfield location.

Worship is at the heart of St. Matthew’s.  Members and visitors alike will find energy, comfort, and joy in the Episcopal liturgy.  Our Wednesday and Saturday services are without music, and tend to be quiet and reflective in nature. Our Sunday service is accompanied by our choir, with traditional sacred music. Check our parish calendar often for special music concerts and seasonal worship offerings, such as Evensong or Night Prayer in the Taizé tradition. We hope you’ll join us at one of our services to experience St. Matthew’s for yourself!

Music at St. Matthew’s

The heritage of music in the Anglican tradition is one of our parish’s greatest gifts to the missionary and spiritual life of the Christ’s Church. Since the sixteenth century, trained choirs of children and adults have led Prayer Book worship throughout the Anglican Communion, and it is so today.

Concerts, choir festivals, recording and travel are also part of the program for older children and for adults from time to time. The liturgy and music of the Episcopal Church are strong tools for evangelism, spiritual enrichment, and the sustaining of faith. The music which the Episcopal Church has used for centuries for Eucharist, for Morning Prayer, Evensong and Compline is a treasure available to us for our own expressions of worship and to share with the world.

In addition to our in-house music programs, which greatly enhance our worship experience, we have programs which bring artists from around the world into our community to perform. Our Lenten Concert Series truly enhances the season of Lent for many parishioners. Our annual 4th of July concert is a patriotic romp that regularly fills the church to capacity.

St. Matthew’s musicians seek to serve God not only by ministering within the parish but also outward, into our community and region as well. We invite all interested persons, children, youth, adults, to join us in this work. For more information, please reach out to our Organist and Choir Director, Bob Troeger.

Night Prayer

On the first Sunday of every month (October-May) we offer a Night Prayer service at 7:00pm at St. John’s Chapel. This service is a hybrid of Episcopal Prayer Book liturgy along with songs and prayers from the Taizé community in France. This once-a-month service is notable for its use of candlelight, simple chants, readings from the Holy Scriptures, sacred silence, and prayer. If you’re looking for a quiet and meditative worship service to close out your weekend, then we believe you will find this an enriching experience.

In the summer months, we have Night Prayer on the lawn at a later time in the evening when it is a little darker outside. Connect with the office if you’d like more information!
