Located in southeastern Missouri’s New Madrid County, Matthews Church of Christ serves a small, close-knit rural community where neighbors know each other by name. This unincorporated community sits in the heart of Missouri’s Bootheel region, an area known for its rich agricultural heritage and fertile Mississippi River delta soil.
Matthews represents quintessential small-town Missouri living, where community bonds run deep and traditional values remain strong. The area’s economy centers around farming, particularly cotton, soybeans, and rice production, creating a population that values hard work, faith, and mutual support. Visitors will find a peaceful, slower-paced environment surrounded by expansive farmland and wide-open skies.
The Church of Christ has deep roots throughout Missouri, with congregations emphasizing New Testament Christianity and Bible-based worship. In rural communities like Matthews, these churches often serve as vital community anchors, bringing together families from surrounding farms and small towns.

New Madrid, the county seat, lies nearby and provides additional services and amenities. The region’s proximity to the Mississippi River has shaped both its geography and culture, creating a unique blend of Missouri and southern influences.
