The doors of St. Peter’s open wide in the name of Jesus Christ.
St. Peter’s has been a presence in Howard County for over 150 years and remains a proudly inclusive Episcopal parish. At St. Peter’s, we believe that worship is the center of life. We know this is what makes everything else we try to do happen. Our care for each other and our community starts with loving God and our neighbors. We need to hear the Good News constantly and in ways that give us energy for our work in the world. Here you will find a diverse parish filled with people from all walks of life — married, partnered, single, gay, straight, young, and not-so-young.
St. Peter’s strives to express God’s love as revealed to us through Jesus. We live out that love through our worship, inclusivity, dedication to outreach, and commitment to one another. We’re a community that studies scripture together, celebrates communion together, and gathers for meals, laughter, and fun. And in doing these things, we find ourselves strengthened for our work in the world. You can visit our outreach page to get an idea of the various outreach efforts’ of St. Peter's. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey — doubting, full-of-faith, or in between — there’s a place for you at St. Peter’s!
We have two Sunday morning services; 8:30 and 10:30. Both services use Rite II and are similar in nature. The 8:30 service is designed to be more of a family service featuring a children’ sermon the first Sunday of each month.
