Saint Matthew Evangelical Lutheran Church

HISTORY     2004 - present

A new chapter for St. Matthew Church began in 2004. At that time worship attendance was about 10-15 per Sunday. The congregation remained vacant for over a year and a half and was served by Phillip Enderle, who was currently serving as pastor of a nearby WELS church. During the vacancy, weekly church attendance began to grow.

In January of 2006, a call was issued to Phillip Enderle to serve as the 16th resident pastor of St. Matthew. He accepted in March, and preached his first sermon as full-time pastor of St. Matthew on May 1, 2006.

Phillip Enderle's passion for the church is highly contagious. Under his direction, guidance and enthusiasm, the church is experiencing dramatic growth. Weekly worship attendance is now 150 per Sunday.

In January of 2007, the congregation began formal plans for a new facility.
