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!
