Church Life

About Us

St Matthew’s is home to the worshipping community of the Church of England Parish of Brixton, St Matthew w St Jude. The parish boundaries include central Brixton and stretch east towards Herne Hill and include the parish primary school of St Jude’s (Regent Road, Herne Hill).

We are an all-age worshipping community that strives to be inclusive, (accepting of all to membership in Christ – Galatians 3. 28) and faithful to the God who calls us and loves us in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Our worship is traditional (Liturgical) with a touch of spice, enriched by both silence and praise – St Matthews likes to sing out! – and seeks to be attentive and responsive to God’s life-giving Word in both Holy Scripture and Holy Communion.

Baptism – ‘Christenings’ for children or adults;

Confirmation – preparation for participation in Holy Communion (which can include baptism);

Funerals for those who lived within the parish’s territorial boundaries (regardless of their membership of the worshipping community) and church weddings (for those resident within the parish boundaries or with a strong connection to the worshipping community) are all possible on request.

Children

Children are very welcome at St Matthew’s and form a strong and well-loved part of our congregation. During part of Sunday’s worship, babies, toddlers and children have their own Diddy Disciples worship, returning to the main service to share the peace and communion.

Choir

Music is important to us, and St Matthew’s sings out! For those wanting to help lead the congregation, choir practice is usually on Fridays, 6.30pm to 7.30pm. All ages welcome, no singing experience is necessary. The choir sing parts of the Communion services, and other songs composed and led by Choirmaster and Organist Francis Reneau, OBE. If you would like to join the choir, have a word after church.

Tea and Coffee

Refreshments are served after the 10am Sunday service. Please do stay for a coffee and a chat.

St Matthew’s Day

On the Sunday nearest to the 21st of September each year, St Matthew’s celebrates its patron saint with worship, followed by a ‘Bring & Share’ Communal Meal. This is a joyful social event, with many congregants, their families, and friends often attending. Congregants often choose to wear something ‘red’, the liturgical colour, for that day.
