–– Student leadership

Youth serve as leaders of worship and in mission for neighbors near and far

We recognize that youth have gifts for leadership and invite youth into leadership roles at St. Peter’s. This is a place for youth to build relationships across generations and experience what it means to be an integral and meaningful member of a faith community.
