St. Matthew's Church in Great Lister Street was consecrated in 1840. It was the first of five churches built by the Birmingham Church Building Society (the Ten Churches Fund). Galleries were added in 1866 and the church was restored in 1883. In the early 1990s, the church was in a state of disrepair and was officially declared redundant in 1994. In May of that year part of the former church was licensed for worship and designated as a Parish Centre of Worship.
A parish was assigned out of the parish of St. Peter and St. Paul, Aston in 1842. Parts of St Matthew, Duddeston were taken to form the parishes of St. Clement, Nechells (1860), St. Lawrence, Birmingham (1868), St Anne, Duddeston (1869) and part of the parish of St Mary, Aston Brook (1864). In 1951, a united benefice was formed by the union of the benefices of St. Anne, Duddeston, St. Catherine, Nechells and St. Lawrence, Birmingham, with that of St. Matthew and St. Matthew's became the parish church. In 1970 the benefice united with that of St. James, Ashted and part of Bishop Ryder, Birmingham and in 1986, the benefice united with St. Clement, Nechells.
The living, a perpetual curacy from 1842 and a vicarage from 1868 was formerly in the gift of public trustees. In 1992, patronage was transferred to the Bishop of Birmingham and the vicar of St. Peter and St. Paul, Aston.
A mission room in Coleman Street, in the parish of St. Matthew, was licensed for public worship 1908-26.
