About Membership at Saint Matthew's
In keeping with the parish bylaws and the canon law of the Episcopal
Church, there are four requirements for maintaining active membership

• the recording of one's name on the parish's register
of baptized members;
• regular participation in Sunday worship,
• involvement
in a parish activity or ministry, and
