Our Mission: Building Christians for Service
Our Vision: To be a city on a hill that cannot be hid: praising God, seeking the lost, welcoming all, growing together, sending servants, changing the world.
Jesus Christ is the light of the world. He offers forgiveness and new life, partnership and purpose, victory and hope for the future. He offers HIMSELF. At St. Peter's we will lift up Jesus Christ so people all around us can know him through our words, our actions, and the character of our community.

Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
St. Peter's was formally founded in 1912, but traces its lineage back to 1871. In 1963, the three local Episcopal Churches, St. Paul's - Hamilton, Mt. Calvary - Round Hill, & St. Peter's - Purcellville, became one congregation at St. Peter's new site on Glendale Street, Purcellville.
What is your primary product or service?
We are catholic in our devotion to God through liturgical worship in continuity with the ancient church and the global communion. We hunger to grow in Christ and to help others do the same through the simple, ancient disciplines of the spiritual life. Learn more at www.stpetes.net.
