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. We are now operating on our summer schedule with just one 10 AM Worship Service each Sunday. Our Family Worship Service and our spoken Contemplative Service are on hiatus for the summer. Learn more about regular worship services.

For Families

All are Welcome
Not only does St. Peter’s Church accept and welcome a wide range of theological ideas and perspectives, we also accept and welcome all people. We believe that all people—of all races, nationalities, and gender identities—are beloved by God and are of equal worth and dignity. Learn more about what we believe.
