Give
Faithful stewardship is an act of worship — an expression of trust in the God who provides all things.
Why We Give
Scripture reminds us that 'God loves a cheerful giver' (2 Corinthians 9:7) — not one who gives out of obligation or compulsion, but out of a heart shaped by gratitude and grace. At St. Matthew's, we understand giving not as a transaction, but as a spiritual discipline. It is one of the ways we declare, in tangible form, that our lives and our resources belong to the Lord who graciously sustains us.
Since 1847, the faithful generosity of this congregation has made possible the ministry of St. Matthew's in the heart of Charleston — the expository preaching, the reverent liturgy, the sacramental fellowship that so many have come to cherish. Every gift, however large or small, participates in a long and faithful legacy of worship and witness that stretches across generations.
Your giving supports the preaching of God's Word under the ministry of Rev. Dr. James Whitfield, the care of our congregation through the rhythms of Lord's Day worship and Evening Prayer, and our outreach into the Charleston community. We are grateful for every act of generosity that allows this work to continue and flourish.
