Who we are

Welcome to St Peter’s!

This church is people who want to grow together in the grace, love and knowledge of the God of the Bible. As in 2 Thessalonians 1:3, we seek ‘To grow abundantly in faith and love.’ We have different activities and groups to help people put their faith into loving action.

If you are confused, unsure of what you believe, you are welcome!

If life has trampled you and you need a place to find people who care and pray, you are welcome!

If you are going well, and God is blessing you, you are welcome!

If you have just left a church because of a fight or split, first, go back & seek to be reconciled, then (if possible) leave them in good faith, and come join us, you are welcome!

If you want to be in a church where you can encourage others and grow while you do, you are welcome!

St Peters Anglican Church History

The Stained Glass Windows
Every window in St Peter’s is stained glass, mostly depicting scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. The “tripartite” East window was installed in the new church in 1924 as a memorial to the 19 men of the parish who were killed in the first World War (1914-18). The left hand window depicts St Peter. The 18 stained glass windows in the body of the church were installed as memorials from 1950s to 1970s. The porch window, installed in 1998 at the Centenary of St Peter’s, depicts the commissioning of St Peter by Jesus to be the leader of the early Christian Church. Further information on the windows is available in a pamphlet.

In 2004 new coverings for the main windows and those along the east side of St Peter’s were installed.
