St Peter's is a welcoming and worshipping community based at the heart of Glenfield. We aim to fulfil Jesus' commandments to love God with wholehearted commitment, to love and serve our neighbours and our neighbourhood and to share the good news of Jesus' death and resurrection and the new life he offers with God in it.
We meet regularly on Sundays to worship - including a very Messy Church once a month - and have a variety of other events going on, from Alpha to find out more about Jesus and Christian faith, to a regular lunch for those who live alone.
If you're looking to get married at St Peter's, and you live in the area or have had links with the church in the past, do contact us, details on the right or under the 'Contact us' tab.
