Welcome
to St Peter’s website. We are a church committed to showing the love of God in
service to the local community, in worship and prayer, and in care for one
another.
As members of the worldwide
Anglican church, rooted here in Birmingham, we are also dedicated to sharing in
friendship and support fellow Christians in Churches Together in Hall Green.
Our hope is that we become
more and more a church at the heart of our local community, meeting needs in
God’s name, and proclaiming his kingdom of love, forgiveness, healing, justice
and peace. We expect to see signs of that kingdom in many different people and
places.
We are not perfect, just
travellers on the road hoping to do our best!
We hope you find the
information you are looking for. Please
don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Martin Stephenson, Vicar

Gilbert on February 9. The PCC is
aware that some of these questions have been addressed in previous Away Days –

planned Away Day on March 20 will be able to address your comments in the
three workshops: Unwrapping St Peter’s; Addressing unjust structures locally,
and Discipleship and the integrity of creation.
