Get Ready for Rally Day Sunday Sept. 8th!

Please join us after the 10 AM service for

food, live music & fellowship as we celebrate the start of our exciting new church year!

On Rally Day we re-assemble and "rally" after a busy summer. In addition, we are excited

to share our love of St. Peter’s with any new families and friends who may want to become a part of St. Peter’s.

Various church ministries will be serving food and sharing information about their ministries, all integral to the mission of St. Peter’s.

You may tour the campus, including the Children’s Ministry wing at Shelton Hall. Our new Children's and Youth Minister, Brian Blacklock, is excited to meet you and share more

about our ministry to children and youth.

Mark your calendars! St. Peter’s Rally Day & Tailgate Party will be a great way to kick off an amazing church year.

We hope to see you there!
