St. Matthew Lutheran, of Sonora, California seeks to implement its mission to reach out with a sense of urgency to bring people into a lasting, living relationship with Jesus Christ. St. Matthew is a member of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, which believes and teaches that in Christ alone is there salvation–by grace alone, through faith alone, on the basis of Scripture alone. Sharing this message with the local community, the country and the world is imperative.
Through a caring community of multi-generational believers, St. Matthew forwards God's Word through the Bible and provides its members opportunities for worship, education, and fellowship. It is truly "Soaring to New Heights" with a new church and a growing membership that works together to spread the message of salvation.
