St Peter
St Peter's church is at the heart of the village and dates back to the 11th century on its present site. The fabric is in good repair and a good oil heating system, along with a friendly atmosphere, ensure a warm welcome for all who visit.
The church is floodlit on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings and can be seen for several miles away. People can also pay for the lights on special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries etc.
The tower contains 3 bells which can be chimed only. They are often used at weddings. The tower also sports a tractor weathervane to reflect our farming links.
Foston PCC organise various social events each year, including Harvest Supper, Cheese & Wine Evening and Coffee Mornings. Church notelets and bookmarks are also produced internally for sale. Proceeds from a Foston History Book also go to church funds.

Safeguarding
Most of the time at church we are like a big happy family. However even in very happy families people can have a bad day and even peope we know and trust can upset us. We want to help everyone have good days all of the time. We try to make sure that people who have jobs within the church always behave well and in a way that is helpful to you. We never want anyone or anything in church to frighten you, confuse you or worry you. it is important that you tell us if something is upsettign you or if you are feeling worried about something that's ahppening or something somebody is doing. We ahve specially trained peaopl in each vilalge you can talk to, and who you can ask for help. These people are good at safeguarding (this menas they look aftereveryone's safety). Caring for people is a very important part of our Christian life.
