ABOUT US

Welcome to St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, a beautiful place of worship that is filled with love, and where all are affirmed and invited to seek God’s love and grace. If you are longing for a deeper connection with God, and in need of a caring community of seekers, you are invited to come and see what we’re all about. Please join us for a Service of Holy Communion offered each Sunday morning at 10:30.

WELCOMING YOU HOME

We believe that spirit-led worship creates a caring fellowship of people who minister in the church and the world.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Sunday mornings at St. Peter’s are welcoming and engaging!

You will see a wide range of attire at St. Peter’s, with some people dressing up more and others dressing more casually. In other words, you may wear to church whatever makes you feel comfortably reverent.

OUR HISTORY

St. Peter’s has a rich heritage as a legacy church that has deep roots in the heart of Talladega.

As early as 1836, it is recorded that a group of Episcopalians existed in Talladega, Alabama, in great need of a church home. As they were indeed a flock without a shepherd, it was to be their good....

Parish Administrator

Kyle Brown is our Parish Administrator who has been serving St. Peter's since 2018. She has a heart for feeding people and a generous spirit. In her "spare"time", she works with a group of old friends in a multi-denominational disaster relief team fondly referred to as The Motley Krewe, fundraising and traveling to areas affected by hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. When not at St. Peter's or feeding folks, she enjoys time on her farm with her husband, Mike, and her FIVE rescue dogs.

Volunteer Secretary

Raenell (Rae) has been volunteering in the office since 1997. Prior to being the volunteer secretary on Mondays and Wednesdays, she worked over 20 years as a surgical nurse at Citizens Hospital in Talladega. Rae has lived in Talladega all of her life, and became an Episcopalian in 1977. Her passions are what she calls the "4-D'S": David, Darby, Dogs, and Disney. And sometimes not in this particular order!
