Iconic landmark church in Perth city centre towering over the beautiful river Tay. Fabulous wedding, conference and exhibition venue as well as a thriving congregation and community resource for many voluntary groups.

St. Matthew’s is home to four WW1 Black Watch colours and five war memorials from other churches now no longer in use. There is stunning stained glass, interesting ecclesiastical history and features and a genuinely warm, inclusive welcome to people of all faiths and none.

150th ANNIVERSARY

In November 2021 we will celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the building. At that time The West Church of the Free Church of Scotland built the church which subsequently in 1965 with its present congregation became St. Matthew's Church, Perth.

This is an appeal to those who give your offering by the free will offering envelopes (WFO) and in the open plate or those who would simply like to make a donation. The easiest and most practical method for the Treasurer is to make payment through the bank.
