What We Do

Sunday gatherings

WANT TO VISIT US?

We meet at 157a High Street, Prahran.

Our main weekly meetings are Sunday mornings at 10.30am.

We come together as a community and worship our great God. It's a time of singing, confession, hearing from God's Word, question time, regular Lord's Supper, and fellowship over morning tea.

We love visitors - come and join us any Sunday.

We run a Kid's Church during our morning gathering for kindergarten and primary school aged kids. At Kid's Church, we learn from the bible, pray, play games, and do other lesson-related activites. A creche is also available for children up to the age of 3 years.

 

Getting to St Matt's:

We have a large church carpark located behind the church building. To access it, turn off Chapel Street into Greville Street, then left into Macquarie Street, then left into St Matthew’s Way, then right into the carpark.

Tram
The number 6 tram runs straight past the church along High Street. Other nearby trams include the number 78 & 79.

Hope Prahran

Hope Prahran is our care ministry for those who are finding things a little tough. 

Want to connect with others? Perhaps feeling a bit lonely?

Drop in, sit, chat and relax in our safe, warm and friendly environment Mondays 10am until 1pm, Tuesdays 10am until 2pm, and Thursdays 10am until 12.30pm. Enjoy an informal time of morning tea and socialising where we supply tea, coffee and food at the church. Everyone is welcome! Most Tuesdays have free bread available to collect.

Curious? Confused? Convinced? Just plain sceptical?

Join us Thursdays at 10am for informal Bible learning, prayer and singing together with lunch to follow from 11.30am. We talk about what it means to trust God and belong to his people, share our hope, and ask questions in a relaxed and friendly setting. All are welcome – check us out.
