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 ……

Every Sunday at for 1 hour

An informal service of Holy Communion. The Second Sunday of the month is often a little different. Maybe cafe church or non-eucharistic service. Suitable for all ages and always a lot of fun.
