Communications at St. Matthias’ serves as the bridge between our life as a congregation and our extended community—both locally and globally. We strive to communicate clearly, creatively, and faithfully the message of our church in witness to the Gospel.

Global Live-Streaming

In an effort to reach beyond the walls of our building, St. Matthias’ offers global live-streaming of worship services and special events. Whether you’re joining from our sanctuary on Huguenot Road or connecting from another city or country, we are committed to sharing the gospel and our faith with all who wish to participate.
Volunteer media technicians, along with the Director of Communications & Media Specialist and Committee, provide camera operation, mixing, broadcast routing, online platform management, and post-event archiving.
