MISSION AND VISION
Invite...support...encounter...
We invite people into relationship, to share their giftedness from God, and to share their gifts for service and leadership. We welcome and act in love with all people wherever they are in their journey of faith. We embrace the diversity of each person, knowing that we each are uniquely created as a child of God. We recognize the complexities, divisiveness and loneliness of our current society and seek that all people would know and experience God’s love.
Our ministries
At St. Peter's Episcopal Church, we believe in importance of community, and the call to serve those in need. Our values reflect our commitment to inclusivity, compassion, and the transformative power of God's love.
Highlights of our community in action
Ministry lies at the heart of St. Peter's. Our ministries embody our values and foster community, friendship, purpose, love, kindness, understanding, spirit, and provide us with a sense of belonging and space.
Veterans' ministries
St Peter’s has been involved in helping Veterans since 2016. We connect Veterans who need help to the community.
Feed the Vets
Our volunteers prepare a nutritious meal on the fourth Friday of the month, while other Episcopal churches in our diocese cover the other Fridays.
Veterans Stand Down
A one-day event that offers veterans various services and goods, including dental work, haircuts, eye tests, blood pressure and blood sugar tests, tax services, clothing, and food. Over 300 veterans attend annually.
Native American Connection
We focus on a Native American ministry aimed at racial reconciliation, remembrance, and relationship building. We host events, invite Native American speakers, and collaborate with Indigenous communities.
We regularly collect items for donation to Native American Connections, a Phoenix nonprofit providing housing, behavioral health services, and addiction treatment to the Native American community.
