Discipleship happens intentionally. St. Matthews Baptist Church offers a myriad of opportunities for people of all ages to grow in their faith through learning and becoming more like Jesus. Following are lots of ways we can grow as individuals and as a community of faith.
Sunday Morning Bible Study Groups
Sunday Morning Bible Study groups begin at 9:15 a.m. We have 16 adult classes. Some are gender or age specific. All are designed to help one grow in Bible knowledge while also growing in friendship and faith with one another. Click here to find which group you would like to attend. **DOWNLOAD CLASS LIST**

Spiritual Disciplines
St. Matthews Baptist Church is engaging in a Spiritual Discipline emphasis beginning in September 2023 and going through May 2024. Each month we will focus on one of the Spiritual Disciplines. We will provide lots of opportunities for everyone to learn about the disciplines and engage in exercises to help you grow in each of the disciplines. Each week we will have an emphasis on Sunday during worship. You can check out those worship services under “Service Online” on this website. We have weekly emails with helpful information about incorporating the discipline in your life. Those weekly emails are also available below. Each week we will also have Wednesday small groups on Spiritual Discipline Studies. You are invited to attend all you can. These small groups meet at 6:30 on Wednesdays in the Grandview Room. Most of the small groups will be audio recorded and available for you to listen to at the link below. (Some of the recordings will have some silent times of reflection. Some of the small group sessions are not recorded as they are more experiential in nature.)
