About Us

We believe that St. Peter's can be a model for the “church of the future”. We are a vibrant, multi-generational community of Christian faith, grounded in our Anglican heritage, yet open to innovation. We respect diversity in the Church and in the world, are responsive to those in need, and have a humble appreciation for the mystery of God.

Our Vision

St. Peter’s is, above all, a community of Christian faith, where people come together to seek, worship, and serve God. 

Operating on our parish motto, “to share the love of God in all that we do,” we strive to be a more open, welcoming and non-judgmental community, where people are encouraged and affirmed in their spiritual journey.  We are eager to reach out and connect with the world around us, to extend the hospitality, care, and love of Jesus Christ for the good of the wider community.

We are not afraid of personal growth! Part of welcoming people means being open to their questions, and connecting with them “where they are.”  St. Peter’s is striving to be a place where people can explore and expand their own personal vision, and find ways to exercise their unique spiritual gifts in the church and in the world.

St. Peter’s has gone through an extensive visioning process recently, and people kept saying they want to see opportunities for spiritual growth.  So, in addition to providing sacramental worship (our primary means of grace) and various Bible studies, we offer a number of programs relating to prayer, spirituality and theology (our understanding of God). (see Worship & Spirituality) 

St. Peter’s is a large parish, but we are striving to ensure that people of all sorts and conditions are cared for.  We have enhanced our pastoral care ministry with the addition of a trained group of Stephen Ministers; we are also looking at small group opportunities in which people can relate and connect on a manageable level.

Jesus said, “The time is coming when people will worship God in spirit and in truth.”  As Anglican Christians we have a wonderful, rich tradition of worship, which is deeply rooted in the spiritual heritage and history of the Christian Church.  

We celebrate that tradition and strive to approach worship as an encounter with God through Living Word and Sacrament.  Worship at St. Peter’s is characterized by dignified informality that is comfortably at ease with both contemporary and traditional forms of liturgy and music.

We have visions of being a “strong, vibrant church,” but mainly what we seek to do is love God, and “seek and serve Christ in every person.” We will do our best in that, and we will also trust that God will inspire us to be the parish we are meant to be, so we may live into the vision God has for St. Peter’s.
