St Matthew Lutheran Church - Rocklin, California

This church healed so much of my previous church hurt. I’ve also met others who’ve had a similar experience here.

They have a truly compassionate pastoral staff. They are intentional about connecting people. They are generous with their time and finances and regularly pour into the community. Their finances are completely transparent and you can be sure there’s no shady funny business when it comes to money. It is a multi-generational church.

A true blend of contemporary and traditional, this would be a good church for a couple where one partner likes casual dress and guitar-led music and the other likes hymns and liturgy.

No church is perfect, but I am very thankful our family found this one.

It is amazing to see what God can do in people's lives as they encounter His grace. St. Matthew is all about it and putting it into action. I love being a part of this church. So excited to see what we are doing with our ministry partners Acres of Hope and Everyone Matter Ministry to break the cycle of homelessness for women & children and families. I'd invite anyone to join us here at St Matthew!

I love this church! I did not grow up going to church. My husband convinced me to try this church, and I am really glad I did! The pastors are amazing, people are kind and supportive, my kid love going to Sunday school, the music is inspiring… beautiful. You will instantly feel the love and care that transpire from this place. Highly recommend even for new comers that haven’t felt the need to join a community like this before.

Whatever worship style you enjoy, St. Matthew has it! 8:30 am traditional has a wonderful choir lead by our worship arts director. 10 am contemporary has an accomplished band lead by the same music leader, Marco Mejia. Pastor Brad & Pastor Nathan are amazing in giving relevant sermons & always Gospel centered. The volunteers each Sunday make a point of making the atmosphere at St. Matthew welcoming and warm…this is the place for you!

When you come here, you’re in the right place. The number one perk of St. Matt’s is the community. It’s a larger church with approximately 400 people between the traditional and modern service styles each week, but it has a small church closeness. It’s also affiliated with the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, so you know the pastors are well-educated, believe in the Bible, and teach proper doctrine.

Wonderful church that feels like family. Nice new bigger facility that allows for fellowship after the service with a coffee cafe, kids play area and big open space to gather. They have great family events like trunk or treat, Easter hunts and even a Oktoberfest. I’ve been to many big churches locally that feel like they are too large where any given Sunday I do not see the same people from last week. There is a point when it’s too big. This church has a smiling face at every turn saying hello and welcome. Pastor Brad and Pastor Nathan have amazing messages each week giving us the Word and scriptures to use in our real life applications. We walk away better equipped each day with the knowledge and desire to be brighter lights in this world. Keep up the good work St. Matthew!

We’ve been attending St. Matthew for a year now. The first day we attended we were greeted by all of the pastoral staff and felt very welcomed! They really made a point of coming over to us and introducing themselves. One year later everyone is still just as friendly. In just a year we have managed to get connected into a life group for Bible study and have been building relationships ever since. They have 2 services on Sunday - a traditional service followed by a modern service. The band is awesome, the messages are fulfilling and we appreciate the many opportunities to get connected into the church family.

Church is a place to find community, and St. Matthew’s does a wonderful job of welcoming everyone and sharing the love of Jesus. Excellent sermons, uplifting music, and ministries for the whole family to get plugged!
