OUR KITCHEN

At St. Matthew’s, we are proud to support both our congregation and the wider community through the use of our full-scale commercial kitchen. Located in the church’s lower level, this space serves as a hub for fellowship meals, special events, and community-based food initiatives.

Our kitchen is also home to several local food entrepreneurs, including food truck vendors who rely on the space to prepare and store their offerings. While we are currently at capacity, we welcome your interest and invite you to reach out to kitchen@stmattsindy.org should availability open in the future.
