We at St. Peter's gather to care and serve as the Body of Christ. By joining a small group, God’s Word and Spirit will empower you to navigate a life in following Jesus. Maybe you just want to explore what the Christian faith is all about, or maybe you seek fellowship with fellow believers. Whatever the case – there is a group for you. Please note that COVID-19 has affected many activities at St. Peter's. Check our monthly calendar or contact us for up-to-date information about these groups.

Discovering God's Vision: You and Your Spiritual Gifts
Who am I? Why am I here? What does God want me to do with my life? Where you fit into Christ’s body (His church) lies in the unique gifts God has given you. Participants in this course will explore opportunities to further develop and use their spiritual gifts in the congregation and community. Discovering God's Vision occurs in the spring and fall of every year.
God Connects
Whether you have questions about Christ or want to deepen your faith in Him, this class will explore what the Bible says about our God, and how His love gives direction and meaning to your life today and forever. The class is designed for those who are interested in learning or reviewing the foundations of the Christian faith upon Luther’s Small Catechism. Attendance in the class may lead to membership at St. Peter’s, but there are no obligations. Speak to Pastor Neil if interested.
Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML-Canada)
By Jesus’ Great Commission and the prompting of the Holy Spirit the LWML equips, motivates, and encourages women to: GROW in God’s Word, SERVE God’s people, SHARE God’s Son. St. Peter’s local chapter of the LWML meets on the 4th Thursday of every month in the church basement.
Men's Group
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17). Men gather on the 4th Thursday of every month (except July and August) to be encouraged in their lives of faith in the study of God’s Word and their fellowship with one another.
Praise Group
“He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God" (Psalm 40:3). The Praise Group leads in the gifted offering of song and music twice a month in Contemporary Worship. The Praise Group meets Monday evenings @ 7PM for practice.

Sunday School
Jesus took children up into His arms and blessed them. We are then privileged to teach boys and girls of the love of Jesus. Sunday School begins at 9:45AM in the church basement with biblical teaching and activities. Your son and daughter will connect with God, each other, and their world.
Youth Group
St. Paul wrote to Timothy, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young” (1 Timothy 4:12). Where youth journey a path into adulthood, God’s Word equips them to set an example in their lives of faith. Youth Bible studies take place on Sunday mornings at 9:45AM in the Parish Hall, and other youth events and gatherings happen throughout the year.
