St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church is located on the rapidly expanding west side of Spartanburg at the corner of St. Matthew’s Lane and US Highway 29.  Two interstate highways, I-26 and I-85, are within a five-minute drive of the church.

The original property comprised approximately 7.25 acres and was sold and donated by the Cleveland Family of Spartanburg.  Since that time, St. Matthew’s Lane was built which took about 1 acre of the property.

Constructed in 1960, the first building consisted of the Nave, offices, a small kitchen and classrooms.  This served the St. Matthew’s family until the early 1980’s, when a 7000 square foot expansion was added which slightly enlarged the Nave and included additional classrooms, new offices, a larger kitchen and a gym/activities facility.  In 2003 we again added to our physical plant by enlarging the church Nave and adding transepts.  This allowed our worship seating capacity to increase to approximately 250.

The St. Matthew’ property has approximately 300 feet of frontage on Highway 29.  This portion of the property has been subdivided into two lots of approx. 150 x 185 feet each that are leased to two banking facilities.

The current buildings consist of approx. 15,00 square feet.

The Nave seats 250.

The classroom wings have a total of 7 classrooms with a storage area.

There is a playground area and a memorial garden on site.

The activity/gym facility is used for coffee hour and other large gatherings and meetings.

There are offices for the Rector, Church Secretary, Preschool Director and Director of Christian Education.  There is one small conference/meeting room with seating for approximately 12 people.
