From right here
This is what church close to home looks like
More than 40 families from Matthews are part of Next Level, and two of our Teaching Pastors, Brad and Joseph, live right here in town. So the person preaching on Sunday is probably someone you've passed at the Saturday farmers market on Trade Street, or stood next to at Stumptown Park during Matthews Alive.
Getting to us from downtown Matthews is a short, easy drive out to Stevens Mill Rd, and on Sunday mornings there's little to no traffic. Grab a coffee in our lobby, settle in for the 10:00 AM service, and you'll be back downtown in time for lunch before the crowds show up.
We also have a small group that meets in Matthews. It's a weeknight in someone's living room with people from church who live a few streets away from you. If you want church to feel like part of your town, a group close to home is a great place to start.
