Central St. Matthew United Church of Christ

Bringing New Orleans together, loving God, embracing diversity, creating community.

Our non-profit is a religious institution that brings all different kinds of people together to form community and to ban together for service. Our stated purpose is to bring New Orleans together by loving God, embracing diversity, and creating community. We are a multi-racial congregation which is also LGBTQ inclusive, so we are particularly interested in racial equality and reconciliation. We actively promote conversations about white privilege, LGBTQ inclusion, and ecojustice. We have held events that are open to the public on such topics as white privilege, the opioid crisis, human trafficking and the me too movement.
