To honour and support your spiritual journey.

St Matthew-in-the-City is a progressive Christian congregation affiliated with the Anglican Diocese of Auckland. We have been a part of Auckland for over 150 years. We have played an important role in fighting for the marginalised and excluded in New Zealand and around the world. We are committed to being an inclusive, welcoming church on site and online. While we welcome all, our mission is to push the theological envelope to articulate a spirituality that goes beyond traditional Christian doctrine and dogma. Our liturgy is innovative and remarkably free of traditional Christian dogma and yet Anglican in flavour. Our business is spiritual transformation not filling the pews. Our strategy is to ask questions, not give answers. Our dream is a world that is a little more just, a little more kind. Our congregation is worldwide linked by our website, podcasts, YouTube videos, e-newsletters, and locally by our beautiful neo-Gothic stone church. We connect locally not only as a house of worship but as a venue for community activities, concerts, and corporate and private events. Sunday worship is at 8:00am and 10:00am. Our midweek service is 12:20pm on Wednesdays. The Auckland Rainbow Community Church whose mission is to the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community meets Sundays at 7:30pm.
