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.
