About Us

St Peter’s Hillfields is at its heart a place of warm welcome and belonging for all. Although our heart and passion is for our local area of Hillfields, our church family is made up of many nations and all walks of life!

Although we now have a modern, purpose-built building, moving out of the old Victorian church building in 2001, St Peter’s has stood at the heart of the community of Hillfields since 1841. Throughout those many years, the church has had an amazing legacy of welcoming all, particularly newcomers and those in need.

We are not just a Sunday church and are busy with all sorts of activities throughout the week, seeking to connect with and serve our neighbours and introduce them to the transforming love of Jesus.

In 2021, St Peter’s was blessed with significant investment of both people and financial resources, as the church renewed its commitment to care for the needs of those living in and around Hillfields to revitalise and re-energise the missional heart of St Peter’s. This renewed focus on outreach and community engagement has also been supported nationally by a Strategic Development Fund (SDF) grant, approved by the Strategic Investment Board, on behalf of the Archbishops’ Council.
