Families & Households
Train children in the way they should go;
when they grow old, they won’t depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
–– Holy households
St. Peter’s welcomes the sound of children.
Children make unique and essential contributions to the community. Intergenerational relationships of care grow naturally and friendships emerge that last a lifetime.
Spiritual roots require careful cultivation. The best people positioned to tend the soil of the lives of children are their parents. That’s why at St. Peter’s we seek to cultivate spaces that tend the faith lives of the entire household.
Come grow with us!
