The cornerstone of education is our
Sunday School classes at 9AM on Sundays. Classes are offered for people of all ages from Nursery through Adult.
A children's sermon is a regular staple of our 10AM Sunday worship.
Mid week family time is provided on Wednesdays when we start with a meal at 5:30. Adult topical discussion,
youth group, and children activities follow at 6:15. The evening concludes with a night compline service with
Communion at 7PM.
St. Matthias provides an active youth group for both high school and middle school students. Periodically our
youth groups participate with other North Pinellas ELCA Church youth groups to socialize, work on a combined outreach
project or attend an educational opportunity.
Outings for children of all ages, their families and Sunday School teachers are scheduled quarterly. Past trips have
included Rays games, bowling and the zoo.
In 2009, our middle school group is attending the Florida Bahama Synod Middle School Gathering. Our Youth Activity
Assistance Fund, which is funded by the generosity of congregational members as well as youth group fundraisers,
makes scholarships available so that all who desire may attend regardless of financial situations.
First communion, confirmation, and new member classes are offered as needed.
Vacation Bible School is offered every summer. Look for more information about next years VBS soon.
