Who We Are
We at St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran Church believe that Jesus suffered and died on the cross and rose again, so we can live in joy with Him forever. We believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God, and that the 1580 A.D. Book of Concord explains God's Word truly and faithfully. The congregation of St. Matthew was established in 1896 by a small group of Slovak immigrants who came to work in the coal mines and settled in Wilkes-Barre and other nearby towns and settlements.
