History

The founding of St. Matthew in 1959 was part of a UCC denomination push to expand into the "new frontier" of suburban Chicago.  The story of our first pastor going door-to-door inviting people to come to church, before we had any physical facilities, is an integral part of our history.  The original Church sanctuary was completed in 1964. The early Church grew and prospered, such that in 1990 - full of faith, confidence, and excitement about its future - the membership successfully raised funds to construct a new sanctuary, which to this day provides a warm and welcoming gathering place for all - including several charter members still worshiping with us.
