Our vision at St. Peter's is to be an inclusive, vibrant Christian community honoring our Episcopal heritage by achieving excellence in worship, mission, education and fellowship.

Ministry committees meet regularly to support the vision of the parish:

Outreach and Mission: We support our diocese and deanery through assessment and pledge dollars. Our food pantry provides food to families and individuals in need. Annual mission trips provide physical support to those in impoverished areas.

Worship: Continuously evaluates the corporate worship, striving to ensure a full and rich spiritual experience for all.

Christian Education: Volunteer teachers provide a learning experience for all ages. Book study and discussion on a variety of topics is offered throughout the year.

Music: Our choir, under the direction of A. David Deery, supports the worship service with hymns, Psalms and anthems. Youth of the parish are invited to participate in the Treble Choir and sing selected pieces at the First Sunday services. Guest musicians perform on Holy Days and other special events.

Liturgy: Fr. Mathews presides and preaches at Eucharist on Sunday and Holy Days. Guest clergy preside and preach on occasional Sundays. Altar Guild sets up vestments, vessels, candles and wine prior to services. Acolytes and ministry assistants provide service support. Ushers guide visitors, hand out bulletins and collect offerings. Lay persons read lessons at Eucharist.

Youth: meets bi-monthly for fellowship and service projects. Fall of 2007 began participation in the J2A (Journey to Adulthood) program.

Property: Church buildings support community programs with well-maintained rooms, furniture and equipment. Property committee works tirelessly to make minor repairs, assess building condition, respond to emergencies and advise vestry on property issues.
