A faithful country congregation, serving God and the people of Peterborough for generations.
The Anglican Church of Saint Peter is a small, welcoming parish in the town of Peterborough, in the mid-north of South Australia. We are part of the Anglican Diocese of Willochra, which cares for Anglican communities across the vast rural and regional areas of the state.
Our mission is expressed in three simple commitments: to provide and maintain a place for worship, to offer fellowship and hospitality, and to provide pastoral care to all who need it. These have been the heart of our church for many years, and they continue to guide everything we do.
As a registered not-for-profit charity, every effort of our congregation is directed toward the spiritual and practical wellbeing of our community — never toward private gain.
