St. Peter's shield - small Mission Statement

The mission of St. Peter's Student Ministry is to shape young people into disciples of Jesus Christ who understand their place in God's story, who depend upon God's loving power and grace to sustain them throughout their lives, and who love others as a response to God's love for them. As a parish we encourage the Christian formation of the youth and their families through worship, fellowship, servanthood, prayer, and Bible study.

In His actions to redeem the world,we see His character,His care and provision,His judgment and discipline, and His redemptive plan for
humanity. Come join us!
