Welcome to St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. A theologically progressive Christian church, St. Peter’s is a safe place to explore or deepen your faith, a joyful place to worship, and a lively place to connect with others. We believe that God created all there is and declared it to be good. We believe that all people are beloved by God and are of equal worth and dignity.
Together, we raise our voices for justice, serve our neighbors and our city, and care for our planet and all of God’s creation. We invite you to participate in our life of prayer, learning, and service.
Worship With Us
We invite you to a worship service at St. Peter’s at our our historic church at Third & Pine Streets. Join us every Sunday at 11 AM for worship with organ and choir. We also have a 9 AM Sunday service for families with young children and a 9 AM Sunday spoken contemplative worship service. Learn more about regular worship services.
On Sunday, November 24, there will be just one 11 AM worship service. No 9 AM services will be held that day.
