St. Matthias Lutheran Church

St. Matthias supports a number of local and global outreach ministries. There is plenty of opportunity to get involved either through financial support or lending a hand through volunteer hours. Many of our outreach efforts are suplemented through Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

We proudly share our church property with the dePaul School for Dyslexia and a Ukranian church.

Some of the local programs we support are:

• Church & Community Outreach (Safety Harbor Food Pantry) - including year round food drives, helping to sort food in the annual postal workers food drive in May & assembling Thanksgiving baskets in November.
• Men's & Women's halfway houses in Pinellas county, Boys home in Clearwater and Haven Families - The womens groups of St. Matthias support an "angel" tree every year that benefits these groups.
• Clothes to Kids
• Meals on Wheels
• All Children's Hospital in Tampa
• North Pinellas Habitat for Humanity

Some of the national & global programs we support are:

• Lutheran World Relief - The womens groups of St. Matthias make quilts, book bags, and health kits for distribution by LWR. Typically these are distributed disaster areas and/or third-world countries.
• ELCA World Hunger
• Lutheran Outdoor Ministries of Florida
• ELCA Military Chaplaincy Program
• Lutheran Braille Workers

Our youth and adults participate in these national events:

• Join Hands Day
• Super Bowl of Caring
