Welcome

Sometimes it is difficult to know where to begin, especially if you are new to the Church, unsure about your knowledge of the Bible or perhaps confused by the way worship takes place in the Episcopal Church. The most important thing for you to know as you are getting started is that St. Peter’s Episcopal Church is the kind of place where newcomers are not judged by how well they are able to follow the Sunday service. Rather, this is a community that embraces newcomers wherever they are in their faith background, and that includes no faith background. All you have to do is show up. If you would like to meet the priest, just ask. If you would like some help—whether that means following the service, figuring out how to get more involved here or just finding the restroom —you can ask with the assurance that we want to help you join us on this faith journey, that’s just who we are!

If you’re already a member of an Episcopal church, you can see the clergy about requesting a transfer of that membership to St. Peter’s. If you are a member of another denomination or you have no current church affiliation, the clergy or any other staff member will be happy to talk to you about the steps which would be appropriate for you. Regardless of your official membership, we hope you will immediately involve yourself and your family in the life of St. Peter’s. Just dive in; the paperwork will take care of itself.
