The church offers a variety of services - to mark the birth of a child, to celebrate a marriage, to mark the beginning of a journey of faith, and to commemorate a life that has ended.

BAPTISMS
Baptisms are such an exciting time to get together as a church and celebrate, as people mark their new commitments to God. We usually have several infant and adult baptism services each year.
If you would like to enquire about baptism at St Matthew's, please email [email protected]. It would be helpful if you could outline your connection to St Matthew's, Borstal.
CONFIRMATIONS
Confirmation marks the point in the Christian journey at which you affirm for yourself the faith into which you have been baptised and your intention to live a life of committed discipleship, following Christ.
This affirmation is confirmed through prayer and the laying on of hands by the Bishop. The church also asks God to give you power through the Holy Spirit.
