About SMAS

We meet on Sunday Nights at 6:30pm in St Matthew's Anglican Church Wanniassa


We are a community of followers of Jesus Christ, committed to live by faith, to be known by love, and to be a voice of hope. We welcome people from all walks of life, regardless of where they are in their spiritual journey.

We know your Sunday is valuable time. You could be hanging out at the lake, devouring pizza, or (perish the thought) catching up on laundry. SMAS intends to provide an experience that connects you to God in a meaningful way and inspires you to take a spiritual step forward. We accomplish that through great live music, art and other media that communicate a message, and a teaching from the Bible that is relevant to your life.


Here are Do’s and Don’ts of our Sunday service:
  • DO participate as much as you want to – Sit if you want. Sing if you want. Engage at whatever level you are comfortable.
  • DO come prepared to grow. No matter where you are at on your spiritual journey – new to faith, returning after a long hiatus, or mature Christ-follower – the service will inspire you go deeper.
  • DON’T feel any obligation to give financially. If you are just checking SMAS out, the service is our gift to you.
  • DON’T keep your questions to yourself. Ask someone with a name badge on or email us whenever.


 We Won’t Make You Wear the Scarlet “V”

Visiting a church for the first time can be a daunting experience. You can’t help but ask yourself questions like:

  • What will the church service be like?
  • Will the people be friendly . . . or too friendly? Yikes.
  • Are they going to pump me for money?
  • What am I supposed to wear?
  • Do I have to pretend to be something I’m not?

Our Sunday evening experience is designed to be a non-threatening place for new people to explore SMAS, figure out faith, and take a next step spiritually. No one will check your spiritual credentials at the door. You don’t have wear the Scarlet “V” (for “visitor”). No purple Kool-Aid will be served.

Dress Code?

There is none. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Don’t worry, we won’t tell your mom that you wore jeans and a t-shirt to church.
