you are a beloved child of God
Saint Peter's invites you to worship in the Anglo-Catholic tradition, to understand how beloved you are, and to know and make known the grace of God through Jesus Christ.
St. Peter's
AT A GLANCE
You Are Beloved
These days, the majority of Episcopalians weren't raised in the Episcopal faith tradition. Inclusivity for us isn't just lip service, it's about truly helping all find a home here.
St. Peter's is parish of the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Communion, and prayerfully steeped in the Book of Common Prayer.
Serving Our Community
St Peter's has been a cornerstone of the Greater Bennington community since its founding in 1834. We strive to stay deeply connected to our town and community.
