The Masterton Parish encompasses a wide range of services from a 1662 Sung Evensong to a post-Alpha Celebration Service.

Services in St Matthew's Chapel and at the Country parishes are more traditional Hymn and Prayer Book Liturgy with organ or piano.

The 10am Service at St Matthew's is contemporary with modern songs (Parachute, Hillsong, Vineyard etc) featuring singers, guitar and the Rodgers Digital Organ with its vast range of instrumental sounds and voices but is traditional at Eucharist etc.  Words and pictures are presented via a data projector. 

Midweek Service has many long-standing parishioners in attendance and leads on to St Matthew's Seniors' Lunch on the 2nd Thursday of the month. 

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (Thursday during term time)

KidZ KluB and KidZ UnlimiteD – Children's Ministry (Saturday and Sunday).

Adult groups meet during the week. Programmes are available during the year: ALPHA, Living Faith, Journeys, EfM etc.
