Parish Life
Our parish life thrives with members of Saint Peter's from all walks of life. We are people of different races, nationalities, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Some of us are first generation immigrants, while other’s are longtime New Yorkers. Together, we are creatively shaping life in the city.
English and Spanish are our primary languages, both of the congregation, and reflected in our liturgies. Since 2019, we are a bilingual church. We believe that God is calling us to form a community where our diversity is considered our greatest strength, and we welcome you to join us on this journey.

Video: Pastor Derr Sermon on the Collegial System at Saint Peter's
On February 13, 2019 Pastor Derr preached about the "collegial system" at Saint Peter's Church that makes for shared decision making and responsibility among staff, lay leaders and congregation.
Transition Update
On October 21st at our Adult Forum and at Jazz 4 All, we received updates on three major areas of our life together at the intersection: pastoral succession, the merger of Saint Peter’s and Sion to create a “New Saint Peter’s Church,” and a long term building maintenance plan.
