Give | St. Matthew's Episcopal Church Fairbanks

THANK YOU to all who have continued to support the life and ministries of St. Matthew's during this Pandemic challenge! With your generosity, we have been able to continue our ministries of, among others, offering cold weather gear to those who need, offer food for the hungry, upgrade our ability to offer live-streamed services 5-6 days a week, and offer support and 'connection to many in Fairbanks and beyond!

However, as you can imagine, donations to the church have dropped off some over this time, and we so appreciate your continuing to give as you can!

That said, we are aware that these are difficult, unpredictable times for everyone, and we know that for some there is financial and job insecurity. Please let us know if there is a way for us to help you.

Several parishioners have asked how they can get their offerings to the church, since we are not having our usual in-person services. There are several ways to donate now: 1) through snail-mail: 1030 2nd Avenue, Fairbanks, AK 99701; or 2) you can drop your donation in our locked, secure mailbox at the office door on 2nd Avenue; or 3) you can use the ‘Donate Now’ button just below, (that is our on-line option). Know that we remain so grateful for your support of St. Matthew’s!

St. Matthew’s has been part of the life of Fairbanks since 1904, and is housed in a historic log building, near downtown Fairbanks, just across from the Chena River.

We offer a Holy space to rest for a bit and engage with our diverse congregation, worshiping in the Episcopal tradition.

Welcome – Wander around our website – Come worship with us in person or online!

What to Expect What is the Episcopal Church

During the summer months we hope to be doing Mass on the Grass as long as the weather cooperates. When the weather is not so great we will go inside the Church with. Our beautiful building is old and has no air ventilation, therefore all indoor services at this time will require masks to be worn.

When we are inside for worship we are live-stream our services. Please join in our worship opportunities.

Love God, Love Your Neighbor...Practice Kindness, it's contagious... and... wash your hands. We will return to our regular worship when it is safe to do so.

Online Worship

We are grateful, at St. Matthew’s, to have parishioners who speak languages other than English.

Some of our Indigenous members have volunteered through the years to lead the Lord’s Prayer or the Nicene Creed, for example, in the language of their hearts – perhaps the first language they learned as babies…the language spoken in their homes…

We invite parishioners to pray in the ‘language of their hearts’ – which may be English, or Koyukon, or Gwich’in, or French, or Spanish, or... Hearing the familiar words prayed in a language other than our own, simultaneously, brings a sense of fullness, that enhances our worship.
