The website says there are several St. Matthew's Churches in various cities. No links are given for other locations. No clergy names or contact info are given (unusual for a church website). No denominational affiliation given, though the term "ecumenical" is given. Pictures of clergy wearing garments that suggest affiliation with a heirarchical denomination are shown (including a person wearing a bishop's mitre). There is apologetic stuff related to why money is to be sent to a PO Box.
When you Google the church name, an street address comes up with the churches website address. (Note: this street address appears nowhere in the actual church website). When you Google the street address, a law firm comes up at that address, not a church:
The Joyce Law Firm
918-585-2751 515 S Main St, Tulsa, OK 74103
General Practice Including Civil Litigation
Products Liability, Constitutional Law, Non-Profit
Organizations, Business Representation/Litigation
This is a clever website that is clearly designed to fool the gullible into believing the church is not only real, but large and thriving.
There is doubtless a special place in hell for people who perpetrate frauds like this in God's name.
