Please join us! St. Peter’s Church in the Great Valley is a place to gather in community for fun and socializing, and to help serve others.

A note about volunteering
If you find that you have a few extra hours a month, there are a number of ways to give back by serving those in need or the church. It can also be a fulfilling way to connect with people, whether it is with other volunteers or those in the community who are being impacted. View the opportunities for giving back on our volunteering page.
