Learn all about St. Peter’s – our history, our staff and leadership, our various ministries, and more. You will also learn about the process for becoming a member! This invitation is open to transfers, those needing Adult Information Class, or just curious.

Men's Fellowship

Sunday, April 19th @ 5 pm - Sanctuary

Men of all ages, young and old, are invited to gather for an evening of connection, encouragement, and fun at our upcoming Men’s Ministry Gathering on April 19th from 5:00-7:00pm.

We especially encourage fathers, grandfathers, and mentors to bring their sons along. These shared moments matter. They build faith, create memories, and shape the next generation. The evening will include a short devotion, a potluck meal, and plenty of time for games and conversation. To help make the night enjoyable for everyone, please bring a dish to share and a favorite game, whether it’s a board game, card game, or something active.

Our goal is simple: to bring men together, deepen connections, and enjoy the fellowship God has given us in one another.

Sisters in Christ

Throw these dates on your calendar and grab a friend or other St. Peter's Sister as we carve out a little time to know each other beyond the pew. (Have a "thing" you do? Let's get you on the calendar. Let Amy know.)

• Saturday April 11th @ 10 am for Painting with Paper: Easter Joy in the Cornerstone Room. Join us for such a cool opportunity to do an Easter art piece alongside artist, Joan Tietz! Member, Lindsey Eggold, has coordinated and brought Joan to us. She is such a stunning artist (check out some of her work HERE). She'll have all of the supplies prepped for us as well as a gift for each person who registers. This is a free will donation event. Register HERE or call the Church Office. 
• Wednesday, April 29th at 5:00 pm Kekionga Craft Co, 7328 Maysville Rd. Come & go. Enjoy a little fellowship, prayer idea, and grab something to eat if you’d like.
