Worship is a vital part of our life as Christians. Through gathering regularly to worship together we focus on God and orientate our lives so they are in line with him.
As a single parish serving a large town, we seek to provide worship in a variety of styles at our two churches. We hope that this will mean that people can find something that works for them but also that it will enable them to encounter God in new ways.
Our regular Sunday morning services include the quiet and peaceful 8.00am said communion, a more formal parish communion and our mid-morning all-age service when we aim for church to be ‘shhh’ free and free-flowing.
In all our worship we seek to open ourselves to the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. We hope that you find your place among us.

Live-streaming of Services at St Peter’s Church
We aim to live-stream one of our services each Sunday to enable those unable to come to church to join in with worship.
On most Sundays we will stream the 9.45am or 10.15am service. No other service will be streamed without that being clearly indicated.
We use a single fixed camera and you will not be visible to those watching from home if you do not go beyond the green line marked on the floor in front of the altar.
Please speak to a welcomer or member of the clergy if you have any concerns
