Get Involved !
Volunteers have always been at the heart of St. Peter’s.
Our community thrives because of the time, energy, and dedication of those who support our Worship Services and ministries. Without our volunteers, we wouldn’t be the strong, inclusive, and welcoming church we are today.
​
Discover how your passions and talents can make a difference.
Whether you're gifted in hospitality, music, tech, teaching, or simply have a heart to serve, there’s a place for you here. When you give your time and share your gifts, God works through you to uplift, support, and bless others. Ministry is something we do together—as a community.
​
St. Peter’s is more than a place of worship—it’s a vibrant, active community.
There’s always something happening in and around the church, and there’s room for everyone to get involved. No matter your age, background, or experience, there’s a role for you to play. Help us make St. Peter’s a place where people encounter God and truly feel at home.
Join us in making a difference.​
