St Matthias',
Dallas, is a parish serious about living out the Christian faith, and we do so
chiefly in four ways:
-
We
worship
God our heavenly Father in the power of the Holy Spirit, as he has
authoritatively revealed himself in his only Son, Jesus, the Lord and Savior.
People who visit St Matthias' often comment on the joy of our worship and the
beauty of our liturgy. If this is true, it is only because we ourselves want to
be--in the words of Mother Theresa--"something beautiful for God," and we know
that God is worthy of the best we can offer him.
To see a listing of our liturgies, offered daily, go to our WHEN
page.
-
We
proclaim
by word and example the Good News of God in Christ Jesus, neither adding to nor
taking from the deposit of Faith as we have received it in Holy Scripture and
Apostolic Tradition.
-
We
equip men
and women of all ages with the treasures of scriptural teaching and sacramental
grace, so that they may know, love, and serve Jesus Christ faithfully in this
life, and enjoy him forever in the next. Being a Christian means being a
disciple, and we are a parish where teaching and learning are central.
Besides our Christian Education hour on Sunday morning, we offer courses
throughout the year on weekday evenings. (Check out our
Christian Education page to see what classes we are currently
offering.) Also, we have a Youth Group, a
monthly men's fellowship with Bible study, and a monthly women's book group.
See our WHEN page for times.
-
We
send our
people out into the world in the power of the Holy Spirit to do the work of
disciples.
St Matthiasites are
involved in their community. This includes a tutoring program the parish
sponsors at a neighborhood primary school, a ministry to the needy in our
north-west Dallas area, and a homeless shelter downtown.
