About Us

St. Peter's is an active church with a rich history. With a growing membership, St. Peter's seeks to worship God, to support the spiritual growth of all parishioners, to reach out to the surrounding community, and to preserve our unique Christian heritage for the benefit of future generations.

St. Peter's has served as an active center of worship for nearly 300 years. A member of the Diocese of Albany, St. Peter's existed before the formation of the Episcopal Church after the American Revolution. The current St. Peter's Church is the third structure in the parish's history, the first having been built in 1715.

Much of the life of the church takes place in the Guild House adjacent to the church, which houses the church offices, the Sunday school classrooms, the nursery, the choir room, the archives, a large auditorium with full kitchen, the Pumpelly Room parlor for receptions, and upper floor apartments.

Central to parish life, however, are the Sunday and Wednesday services of morning prayer and Holy Eucharist. Visitors to St. Peter's repeatedly comment on the glorious choir music, the thought-provoking sermons, and the inspiring worship space. We invite you to come worship with us.
