How can you help?
Generosity is at the heart of our faith.
We believe in a generous God who gave us the world and sustains it, and who, out of his love for us, also gave his son Jesus to us. When we respond generously, it is a testament and hallmark of our faith in action.
The ministry and mission of St. Peter’s Church is funded through the incredible generosity of those who give to it. There is no funding for parishes from the Church of England’s central funds.
Your local church relies entirely on the giving of local people to manage and sustain its ministry and mission.
