What is St Peter's Episcopal Church all about?
We are Christians who love questions, mystery, and love more than certainty.
We follow Jesus, believing him to be the agent of God’s mending, reconciling, and blessing the whole world by forgiveness, love, and respect of all people.
We invite you to find the support of God's love with us, and to encounter the Holy One among us!
