Our vision for the 2020s is equipping God's family to keep serving, strengthening, and starting gospel churches.
We focus inwards on gospel ministry at St Peter’s so that we might be more able to help gospel ministry beyond our church. That means we value our partnerships in the gospel with nearby churches and with mission partners further afield.
