Welcome to St Peters Church and Centre, Stanley
Welcome to St Peter’s Church. Part of the North Wakefield Benefice.
We are a Church that puts the local community at the centre of its thoughts. We believe it is vital that everyone connected to us feels part of something truly special, our church is a place they can always be themselves, allowing their faith to flourish and help others within this unique parish.
This ‘everyone counts’ mentality allows for an inclusive feel at every level, from those faces we see regularly to the people who dip in & out of our lives when they need support most.
A warm welcome awaits!
Sunday Mornings ……
On Saturday 22nd November it is our Christmas Fair from 10am-1pm with lots of stalls and refreshments, including cakes, bric-a-brac, soft toys, raffle, tombola, plants, preserves, craft items and much more! Please join us for a lovely morning!
Exploring Christianity
There will be a group for adults interested in exploring the Christian faith to be held in Wrenthorpe, beginning in September.
It’s a safe space to ask questions and find out what it’s all about without commitment.
It’s particularly helpful for people who might be thinking about baptism or confirmation. For more details, please contact Revd Diane
