Covering and community, without losing your church
We are relationally based rather than geographically based. Churches and ministries that join us keep ownership of their property and control of their own finances.
Why join
Why join the Province of St. Peter?
The Province of St. Peter, a member of the Evangelical Episcopal Communion, is a fellowship of ministers and ministries bound together by our Doctrinal Essentials and Core Values. We serve Christ in many places and in many denominational settings.
Balance and protection
Embracing the presence and power of Christ in the Evangelical, Charismatic and Sacramental traditions creates balance in doctrine and spiritual practice, and a protection against error. Convergence promotes unity and opens the way to a richer knowledge and experience of Christ.
Leaders who care
Our leadership is made up of caring people who are accountable to each other, and with whom you can be open and real without fear. We offer training, mentorship and spiritual covering.
Valid Apostolic Succession
Those approved for ordination with us are brought into valid Apostolic Succession, providing credibility within the wider body of Christ.
Affiliation
Three levels of affiliation
Choose the relationship that fits your calling today. Many begin by networking and grow from there.
Full Communion
Churches, ministries and individuals share fully in the life, organization and ministry of the Province. All clergy share in Apostolic Succession and affirm our Doctrinal Essentials and Core Values, and may serve in Province leadership.
Inter-Communion
Ministries share together in worship, communion and ministry, in agreement with the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds and the authority of Scripture, recognizing each other's Holy Orders and giving grace on non-essentials.
Networking
Churches, organizations and ministries are relationally connected for fellowship, shared ministry and missional purposes.
