Welcome to St Peter's Church Family - we love and worship Jesus Christ!
It is our prayer that whether you join us for a short time or longer, that you will encounter the warmth of God's gracious welcome and a sense of deeply belonging.
If like Zacchaeus climbing a tree to watch Jesus, you want to come to church and just watch what goes on – you are welcome.
If you want to get stuck in going deeper in your relationship with Jesus, embracing the power of the Holy Spirit, following His ways and teaching more closely than before – you are also most welcome! There are opportunities to grow as a disciple: learning to know and follow Jesus through smaller home groups and through gathering on Sundays and serving our community with God’s love.
We welcome all and we welcome children and their noises too! We have a loving and experienced Sunday School team as well as mid-week gatherings for younger folk. We also have a designated children’s play area at the back of church, and colouring packs for children wanting to stay in the service.
The parish of Norton: St Peter is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officers (PSOs) . The Dioceses of York's safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. Information is also held on the Church noticeboards. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
