Recent reordering of the church has provided toilets, a new kitchen, a much needed meeting room, a new information point in which the Parish Secretary works and the Gateway area – an open versatile space used for tea and coffee after services, displays and events, lunches and larger meetings. These areas are available for hire for other meetings and events.
Concerts, both community and professional are regularly held in the church, with the Rotary Club holding a concert by the Skegness Silver Band at 7.30pm 9th Dec 2017.

The organ built by Rushworth and Draper is recognised as one of the best in the country and has recently had extensive repairs. A recent grant of £1,500 has been received towards the repairs of an estimated £14,000.
We have a loop sound system and surprisingly a Steinway grand piano that is used by pianists of all ages in community concerts. Earlier this year Jill Crossland played a concert of classical music - the piano being tuned with a grant from the East Lincs Arts.
On a sunny day the church is bathed in colour from our stained glass windows, which include one by Comper that depicts St Francis of Assisi. The east windows are memorials to the 9th and 10th Earls of Scarborough and date from 1948, replacing others that were war damaged. The town War Memorial stands in the church grounds and is used by increasing numbers during the annual Remembrance Service. The Civic Service being held in St Matthew’s, known to all as the ‘Church on the Roundabout’.

Our annual Advent Wreath Festival supported by many local firms and organisations as well as individuals continues to amaze. Christmas Carol services are also held and very popular.

Local schools hold their Harvest services here when the offerings are donated to the Community Larder to support those in need in the town.

We hold Baptism and Confirmation classes and the 'Space to Think' meetings for those about to be married.
