Welcome

If this is your first time on St. Peter’s website, we want to thank you for visiting. 

St. Peter’s is a community with a story. Founded over a century ago as a Japanese mission of the Episcopal Church, people from many different walks of life now call St. Peter’s home. On any given Sunday, this includes married, divorced and single people, LGBTQIA+ and straight people, young people and old people, city dwellers and suburbanites, housed and unhoused people, those with mental illness and addiction, lifelong Episcopalians and those new to the Episcopal Church and Christianity. We see our diverse makeup as a gift from God, one that enables us to more authentically be Christ’s Body in the world.

Because the experience of some in our community includes racism and exclusion, we strive to stand in solidarity with those who are still outsiders, and to be a place of wholeness and healing.

We are a community grounded in hospitality. We like food! Each Sunday, we gather around the altar to receive God’s hospitality in bread and wine that become the Body and Blood of Christ. Afterwards, during brunch at Coffee Hour (currently on the first, third and fifth Sunday of each month), the feasting continues with a delicious meal and lively conversation, both of which nourish us for our lives in the world.  

Whether you are new to St. Peter’s, the Episcopal tradition, or Christianity, you are welcome in this place. We look forward to meeting you in person soon. If you have any questions about our community and worship, contact us at welcome@stpeterseattle.org.
