St Matthews Anglican Church, Heritage church building in Mitchelton, Queensland.

St Matthews Anglican Church is a rectangular brick building on Church Road with buttresses supporting its steep gabled roof of corrugated iron. The complex includes the main church, an operating cemetery, a 1917 hall, and a 1980s lychgate, all built on solid stone foundations.

The foundation stone was laid by Governor George Bowen in September 1867, with the first service held on February 7, 1869. The church was originally called Grovely Church and kept that name until 1909, when it adopted its current designation.

The church was never blessed or consecrated, likely because the land was placed in a private trust rather than given to the church. John and Mary Nicholson, who donated the hilltop land, are buried in the churchyard. A 1917 plaque commemorates their son, who drowned in Mackay in 1882.

The church stands high on a hill at 35 Church Road, Mitchelton, with the cemetery, 1917 hall, bell post and 1980s lychgate grouped around it. The rectory is private and altered, so it is not part of the heritage listing. The bell in its cast-iron frame is rusted and no longer rung.
