Service Times

Although our doors remain closed temporarily, our hearts and minds remain open, and we regularly pray for all who are affected by COVID-19 – we want all of us to be safe.

Due to the uncertainty around the spread of the Coronavirus, the Bishop of Alaska continues to suspend all public worship services in our churches. The Bishop, and all of us, are monitoring the recommendations from the CDC and the State of Alaska, and are in frequent conversation about mitigation plans (reopening plans) that can be put in place after careful planning.

We are live-streaming our services on our Facebook page or you can watch it online.

  • Sunday morning worship - 10:30 AM
  • Noonday prayers, Tuesday - Friday at Noon

Please join in our worship opportunities.

If you need to reach us, our phone number is: 907-456-5235... follow the prompts to leave a voice message for the Parish Administrator or the Rector (Priest).

Love God, Love Your Neighbor...Practice Kindness, it's contagious... and... Wash your Hands. We will return to our regular worship when it is safe to do so.

Welcome Covid Protocols In the Language of Our Hearts

St. Matthew’s has been part of the life of Fairbanks since 1904, and is housed in a historic log building, near downtown Fairbanks, just across from the Chena River.

We offer a Holy space to rest for a bit and engage with our diverse congregation, worshiping in the Episcopal tradition.

Welcome – Wander around our website – Come worship with us in person or online!

What to Expect What is the Episcopal Church

The Vestry has decided to resume in-person services. During the summer months we hope to be doing Mass on the Grass as long as the weather cooperates. When the weather is not so great we will go inside the Church with. Our beautiful building is old and has no air ventilation, therefore all indoor services at this time will require masks to be worn.

When we are inside for worship we are live-stream our services. Please join in our worship opportunities.

Love God, Love Your Neighbor...Practice Kindness, it's contagious... and... wash your hands. We will return to our regular worship when it is safe to do so.

Online Worship

We are grateful, at St. Matthew’s, to have parishioners who speak languages other than English.

Some of our Indigenous members have volunteered through the years to lead the Lord’s Prayer or the Nicene Creed, for example, in the language of their hearts – perhaps the first language they learned as babies…the language spoken in their homes…

Pre-Covid (and Post-Covid, we hope) we invite parishioners to pray in the ‘language of their hearts’ – which may be English, or Koyukon, or Gwich’in, or French, or Spanish, or... Hearing the familiar words prayed in a language other than our own, simultaneously, brings a sense of fullness, that enhances our worship.
