About St. Matthew's & St. Joseph's Episcopal Church

Welcome to St. Matthew's & St. Joseph's Episcopal Church, a historic Gothic Revival venue in Detroit's Midtown/Downtown corridor. Located at 8850 Woodward Ave, this active parish hosts a variety of cultural and community events alongside its Sunday service. The church has a storied history dating back to its 1926 construction and its 1971 merger to form the SMSJ parish. From concerts like Holiday Brass: Detroit to the Urban Poet's Program and community gatherings, this site is more than a place of worship—it's a gathering space for Detroiters and visitors alike. We’ve put together practical details to help you plan your visit, secure your seats for events, and find convenient lodging and dining nearby. We’ve got you covered with easy, no-fuss planning—like having a friend on the inside.

Parking sits right next to the church in a lot located at the intersection of King and Woodward. For getting around, Woodward Ave provides easy access to the QLINE streetcar along its corridor, with additional connections through the DDOT and SMART bus networks. When you’re staying in the city, several downtown Detroit hotels are within a short walk or drive from the church, making it simple to combine a historic church visit with dining and sightseeing. If you’re planning an event or performance at St. Matthew's & St. Joseph's, we can help secure tickets, coordinate logistics, and connect you with trusted local lodging and dining partners to complete your Detroit experience.
