The Episcopal Church is part of the world wide Anglican Communion and embodies a heritage that includes attitudes reflective of both ancient and contemporary Catholicism and Protestantism.

St. Peter's was founded in 1834 as the first Episcopal Mission in Charlotte at a time when Mecklenburg County was composed of a series of small villages. As the city of Charlotte has grown, so has St. Peters, providing the community with a large body of contributions that have been examples of lasting achievements through faith, courage, and ceaseless devotion to Christian causes. Located on the corner of Seventh Street and North Tryon Street, St. Peter's has been an integral part of the development and renewal of the downtown Charlotte community.

As an Episcopal parish, we believe in maintaining a strong tie to our traditional value while being adaptable to the changing times of the early 21st century. We want to remain open to the leading of the Spirit as God draws people who are often different from one another, by providing opportunities for interaction and the learning and acceptance that comes from being open to the Spirit. We do this by providing opportunities for:

  • fellowship
  • traditional and new forms of worship
  • nourishment and education for spiritual growth
  • outreach and service to others

Saint Peter's is often used for weddings, baptisms, and funerals for both our standing members and for members of our larger city family who may not have a direct affiliation. Please contact the church office and arrange an appointment to visit with our Rector to discuss your particular situation.
