The church is named after the apostle Matthew and serves as a spiritual gathering point for residents of Saint Lawrence. It stands as a space where the local community comes together to maintain their faith and connection to the island.
The church is most welcoming during regular worship times, when visitors can experience the space alongside the local congregation. It is located in Millbrook and can be easily accessed by following local paths through the neighborhood.
The building holds the only complete collection of heavy clouded glass creations by a renowned designer, including crystalline angel figures throughout the space. The baptismal font itself is entirely made of glass, making it a rare surviving example of this artform.
