PARISH MINISTRIES:
An Opportunity to Serve
The purpose of Saint Peter's by-the-Sea Episcopal Church is to witness to the Love of God in the world by proclaiming the Word of God; by nourishing and nurturing the spiritual journeys of the people of God; by ministering to the needs of people of God; and by providing a home where our Parish family can celebrate their relationship to God in the Episcopal tradition.
