College Adoptions (it's time)

*Congregation: College students who have signed up and still need to be adopted will be available in the Ministry Center NOW.


If you adopted a student, step one is to send them a card or note introducing yourself. If you have other questions on how you can care for your student, contact member, Naomi Woehnker or staff, Michelle Leahy.

Casting the Nets


*Ya'll are so awesome - biggest needs now are listed below.

  • Desserts
  • Bulk Coleslaw


It's our first fish fry in quite some time - we're excited to bring our church family and community together for some "feast & fellowship." We'll roll out more details as we get closer to the big day - November 21st, but Phase 1 starts with YOU! To make this event a success, we're seeking promises for food and time donations from congregation members. If you're able to provide donations or volunteer, please contact the church office or click the "Catch of the Day" button. A Youth Team Leader will reach out to all volunteers at a later time.


All proceeds support our Youth programs!

Social Ministry Mission Trip


It's been a hot summer, but now it's time to think about some cooler weather ahead and joining the St. Peter's Disaster Response Team to help rebuild Hurricane Helen damaged homes in North Carolina.


We have scheduled a two week window of opportunity to volunteer, beginning on Sunday, October 12, 2025 thru October 24, 2025. We will, once again, be working with the "Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders," this time in Burnsville, NC, which is about 20 miles directly north of Black Mountain, as the crow flies. Volunteers can choose to participate during week #1, week #2, or both weeks. Anyone with questions or interested in joining the team, is asked to contact Mike Bultemeier for further details. If you aren't able to get his contact info from the directory in your Realm app, call the church office.

Online Greeters Needed


We're looking to expand our list of online greeters who serve during our 10:30 livestream worship services on Facebook. It's a really cool way to connect and welcome people worshiping with us online. If you'd like to know more about this unique opportunity to serve the church, reach out to Art Wenzel or contact the church office. We'd be happy to get you connected to Art.


Sanctuary Care Crew


We have several incredible teams of members that rotate different jobs throughout each month to keep our Sanctuary and the surrounding area clean and ready for worship in our most sacred space. Recently, one of our teams had to step down from running the floor machine, dry mop, and dusting. If you're interested in being part of this amazing set of people who care for God's house behind the scenes, fill out the form through the button below and our coordinators Devon & Alicia Weaver will reach out to you.
