BCP Broad Church Rite I and Rite II

 The church's faithful congregation, dependable stewardship, and strong connections in
the diocese and beyond, all contribute to its overall strength.
 The church's commitment to Christian formation among youth includes the Kairos
program, the Destinations youth group, and the Young Families Supper Club.
 Fellowship, adult education, fundraising, and ministry/mission outreach activities are also
rebounding.

 Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, St. Matthew's has bounced back.
 Financially, St. Matthew's is secure in the short-term, but like many churches faces larger
societal trends that are challenging.
 Like other churches, St Matthew’s has to confront the challenges of an aging
congregation, growing secularization in society generally and competing demands for the
time and attention of current or potential parishioners, especially those with young
families.

St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, Pennington, NJ, is a flourishing parish centered in Christ that combines tradition with a modern outlook. The number of parishioners is stable, bolstered by the addition of new young families and the presence of an attractive live-streaming option for those who cannot attend in person. Financially resilient and rebounding from the impacts of the pandemic, the church has resumed most of its normal activities. St. Matthew’s has a long- standing commitment to mission and community outreach, a strong emphasis on youth and Christian formation, and an inclusive atmosphere. The church's Anglican traditions, admirable music program, desirable location, and well-maintained facilities, all contribute to its appeal.
