Children are our most precious gifts from God. It is an awesome responsibility that God has given us to help them grow into faithful Christian adults. St. Peter’s provides a safe, loving, and consistent environment in which children are able to learn and develop their personal relationship with Jesus. We believe that community is essential in the lives of children, and we make it a priority to provide an atmosphere where all children feel included.

They may be dropped off at the start of either the 9:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. service, and they are returned to their parents during or just after the peace. Parents interested in leading children’s chapel are invited to stay and observe the service.
