Who Are We?
St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran
Church is located in the heart of Benton Harbor, Michigan at the corner of
Colfax and Kline. In 1998 we celebrated our centennial. The congregation worships
in a beautiful modified gothic building completed in 1920. We are one of the
few churches in the United States which still offer weekly services in both
English and German. (English Services are at 9:00 am and German at 10:30 each
Sunday). Our congregation's makeup is multiracial. Our neighborhood was once
filled with German immigrants, and is now mostly made up of African Americans.
We are more multi-cultural than most churches! Professor Ernst H. Wendland, for
many years a missionary to the Lutheran Church of Central Africa was once
pastor of our congregation. St. Matthew's is a member of the WELS, the
Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. You can learn more about the WELS by

Rev. Timothy H. Buelow
St. Matthew’s offers Christian
Education for all ages from 2 weeks through high school. We have a quality,
certified child care program, a pre-school, and a Lutheran Elementary School.
We are also members of the Michigan Lutheran High School conference.
