Welcome to St. Peter United Methodist Church.
Our church home is a place where everybody is somebody, and everyone is welcome regardless to background.
What breaks God’s heart should break our hearts. The church doesn’t exist for itself; rather, the church exists to partner with God in Jesus’ mission to reconcile the world and bring heaven to earth. Our passion for ministry and mission should be like God’s. We welcome all people into our church. We are eager to assist each individual in identifying his/her individual gifts, so we can combine our collective gifts to witness for and glorify the Lord.

Reverend Jefferson’s ministry is best accurately described in Isaiah 61:1-2, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek, he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord”.
