What to Expect

Welcome home!

Maybe someone invited you or you just drove by and wondered what that church on France Avenue might be all about. We know meeting others for the first time can be intimidating and going to a new church for the first time can be nerve-racking. We want to help make your first experience at St. Peter’s a great one. Our goal is to help you take the Next Step in your walk of faith and support you along the way.

Our Service

Sunday - 9:30am
At St. Peter’s our focus is on family and our service is designed with that in mind. It begins with with the praise team leading the church in music. Song lyrics are projected onto the screen so you can sign along and/or engage with worship, however you feel comfortable. After a welcome from our pastor, we watch a Bible-based video relating to our theme. Then our youngest worshipers are invited to STP Kids while adults hear an encouraging and hope-filled message about Jesus. The STP Kids will then return to the sanctuary for the end the service where we pray and a hymn is played on the organ. Services typically last 45 minutes to an hour.

What We Believe
 

Kids

Young people are active and curious! So St. Peter’s provides fun, age-appropriate, Bible-based activities and teaching for our youngest disciples. We call it STP Kids. We all learn the same Biblical truth each week. During every service, kids from wiggly waddlers to 5th graders are invited to go with licensed teachers to an age-appropriate activity room located right beside the sanctuary. There they will learn about our theme for the week, do some fun activities, sing some songs, and grow in their knowledge of God. They will then return to the sanctuary to be with their family for the end of the service.
