Welcome to St. Matthew's UMC of Newbury Park
St. Matthew’s UMC is a spiritual home for everyone who seeks to love God, serve others, and create ways to embrace and engage our community. This is a family church that strives to engage the deeper meaning of the Lord’s definition of family.
We are partners with the Westlake Village UMC and the Thousand Oaks UMC in reaching families who live between our congregations. We are also partners with our United Methodist Church worldwide in sharing God’s love in the most difficult of circumstances. We have been the first team in and the last to leave in catastrophes around the Globe. Our United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is currently on site with the people of Lahaina, Maui- where we lost our historic Lahaina UMC buildings. However, our Lahaina community & congregation are serving those who suffer from this fire. Additionally, they are receiving our financial and prayer support daily.
As the Lead Pastor, it is my prayer that you discover who we are and who’s we are. We wish to serve those in your world and the world as a whole- in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Peace for the Journey,
-Pastor Jim Powell
