HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP
Join other high schoolers on Sunday nights for a place to grow closer to Jesus, build meaningful friendships, ask honest questions, and discover what it looks like to follow Christ in everyday life. Throughout the year, we’ll continue to dive into God’s Word, have fun together, serve our community, and grow as a faith family. Whether you’ve been coming for years or you’re joining us for the first time, you belong!
Sundays | 6–8 PM | St. Peter Youth Room. Click HERE to help us stay connected with you and your family throughout the year.

THE SLOW DOWN
The Slow Down with Tanner Olson and Matt Doering is coming in just a few weeks. Through stories, poetry, song, and reflections on faith, these evenings offer an opportunity to step away from the routine, gather with others, and be encouraged in Christ. But don't come alone. Think of someone in your congregation, a friend, family member, colleague, or neighbor who might appreciate an evening like this.

Friday, October 16, 2026 • St. Peter

Dinner will be available at 5:30 p.m., with the program beginning at 6:45 p.m. Sign up HERE!

YOUR VOICE MATTERS!
At St. Peter, we care deeply about understanding the hearts and minds of the people we serve. We believe that listening well helps us grow together in faith, strengthen relationships, and better fulfill our mission of living a full life in Christ. That’s why we’ve partnered with ChurchVoice, a platform designed specifically for churches to gather meaningful feedback from their worshiping community. In the coming weeks, you’ll receive a brief survey invitation from ChurchVoice—by email or text. It takes only a few minutes to complete and will help our leaders understand what’s working well, where we can grow as a congregation, and how we can better care for you and your family.

We’ll send these short surveys a few times a year, and these surveys will be intentionally staggered – not everyone will receive the survey at the same time. This approach helps us hear from a wide range of voices, and stay attentive to how our ministry is connecting with people throughout the year. When you receive your invitation, the subject line or text message will clearly include St. Peter so you know it’s from us. All responses are confidential, and your contact information will never be used or shared by ChurchVoice. Thank you for sharing your perspective and for being part of what God is doing here at St. Peter.
