A Brief History of our Church:

St. Matthew’s Evangelical Lutheran Church is formed, predominantly made up of people of German ancestry. They worshiped on the corner of Washington & 3rd Streets in Hoboken. The original building still stands, although altered to become the present home of McDonald's in Hoboken.

1878

The St. Matthew congregation moves into a new sanctuary on Hudson & 8th Streets, the edge of town at the time.

1890

The Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Church on 9th and Clinton Streets forms, comprising mainly of members of Norwegian and Swedish ancestry.

1903

People of German and English ancestry start the Holy Trinity English Evangelical Lutheran Church on 10th and Garden streets in 1903.

1948

The Holy Trinity and the Scandinavian Lutheran Church merge to form the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church using the property on 9th and Clinton as their house of worship.

1969

The Trinity congregation combines with St. Matthew’s to form the present congregation now known as St. Matthew Trinity Lutheran Church worshiping at 8th and Hudson Streets.
