Vision
VISION STATEMENT - UNDER CONSTRUCTION Have you heard about that church in the Renton Highlands? SMLC is a main avenue running between the community and the church. The 2000 strong who show up for worship reflect the mark up of the surrounding community. They come to SMLC to worship God and to grow in faith only to be sent back out in service to others. People immediately feel at home when they walk through the doors of SMLC. They know it is a church where you don’t have to be good enough to go. The music is the music of the people. ...

About Our Youth Ministry
Youth ministry at St. Matthew's looks a little different than traditional youth ministries. Sure, we have some of the usual stuff: on Sunday mornings we meet for Sunday school during the 9:30am service. On Sunday nights we have SMACK, our middle school and high school youth group.

Core Values
The reality for every person's life is that we encounter challenges, failures, and times of significant pain and hurt. SMLC is a place that is not afraid to walk alongside people as we come fact to face with our humanness.

God's unflinching love for us is know as GRACE, GRACE, GRACE. A congregation that take the pain of the community seriously has to be willing to become involved in acts of ...
