Membership

All that is required to be a member here is your regular attendance at worship, and your financial commitment to God's work. God expects us to respond to human suffering and to seek peace with justice wherever possible. We work with God in the creative, redemptive and sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit to bring the Hope of God into reality. We work in concert with God and one another to pattern our lives after the life of Jesus.

There is always a standing invitation for you to consider membership in the church. Come visit anytime, we are a house of prayer for ALL people. While the church does not require active membership in order to be married at St. Peter’s in the case of a first marriage, the church does require that at least one of the parties must be a Baptized Christian. Baptism does imply commitment and we consider base commitment to be regular attendance and financial support. If you take your Baptism seriously you will be open to probing discussion about Christian discipleship during pre-marital counseling. If you are not open to this minimal kind of commitment, it may be more appropriate to be married in a secular setting by a justice of the peace.

Please give these matters your prayerful consideration and ponder them carefully in your heart.

Faithfully,

The Priest, the Wardens and Vestry of St. Peter’s Church

Classes

Typically, the rector will provide classes and tutorials to prepare people for baptism and confirmation. Consult the office or the Rector for particulars.

Transfer

When we move from congregation to congregation in the Episcopal Church, we typically transfer our "letter" from one congregation to another. Contact the office to have your "letter" transferred when that seems appropriate.
