St Matthew's church has been at the heart of the community in the east of Stratford for over a century. During that time it has been a place of wonderful spiritual life and has seen the Lord do life-changing things.
Our Sunday gatherings are at the heart of our whole week of worship. We take time together to relive the gospel story as we gather, sing, pray, listen and talk together. At the heart of our meetings is God’s Word, the Bible, read and preached.
Our 10am and 5.30pm services are welcoming places for people from all around the area, whatever age, stage and background you come from.
With special groups for kids at the 10am meeting as well as lots going on in the week, St Matthew’s is an amazing place to encounter life with Jesus.
Our parish of West Ham, Saint Matthew is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Chelmsford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO, by email at [email protected] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor, Danielle by email at [email protected]. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services
