Come Holy Spirit, set our hearts on fire!

   Welcome to the website of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Matthew.

   The day of Pentecost marks the fiftieth day after the glorious resurrection of our Lord on which the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples.  They were filled with the Holy Spirit and received divine power to do the work of the Holy Ministry that was entrusted to them by their risen Lord and Savior, who ten days earlier had ascended into heaven.

  The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Holy Trinity is the promised Helper and Comforter who guides all believers, indeed, the one holy catholic Church, into all truth regarding faith and salvation.

  By my one's own reason or strength he cannot believe in Jesus, but is called by the Holy Spirit through the Gospel to the one true faith.  Through the ministry of Word and Sacrament the Spirit calls, gathers, enlightens and makes holy the whole Christian Church on earth as she gives witness to the mighty deeds of God in Jesus Christ for the salvation of souls.

  Come Holy Spirit, our souls inspire!
