History
Established in 1840.
The Episcopal congregation of St. Matthew’s was organized in 1840, the fourth Episcopal church to be organized in the old Northwest Territory. The original church building stood where the county courthouse now stands. A.H. Ellwood, an architect from Aurora, Illinois who specialized in designing churches, schools, and public buildings, was selected to design the current building. Begun in 1872 and completed in 1879, it is the oldest church building in Kenosha County.

The season of Lent is upon us now. How are you feeling? Calm, thoughtful, frazzled, bewildered, scared, worried? No matter what our emotional, mental or spiritual state - this season gives us an opportunity to engage in practices that refocus us on our true identities as children of God and disciples of Jesus Christ. This happens when we engage in the practices Jesus spoke of in the gospel for Ash Wednesday. I encourage you to do whatever it takes to make space in your life to re-invigorate your encounter with God. Bible Study, Evensong, Soup Supper and Reflection Series, Stations of the Cross, and the ability to schedule the Sacrament of Reconciliation are all offerings that St. Matthew’s are providing you this year. In short: Lent is not business as usual.
Bible Study - Mondays at 6:30 PM |
Evensong, Lenten Reflections, & Soup Supper - Wednesdays @ 6:30 PM |
Stations of the Cross - Fridays @ Noon |
